To the Lighthouse: Virginia Woolf
by vikas

Comment:
This is a nice lighthouse without a doubt but it's not Virginia Woolf's one. It lacks subtlety. lacks longing, philosophical introspections or childhood memories ...
Must be also the fact that we are so saturated with images of lighthouses and sunsets that it's hard to produce one that will blow us away

Arabian Nights
by ecmguy

Comment:
It sure is surely taken "somewhere over there", but it's a postcard, albeit a good one. In the context of DPC and this particular challenge it presents no real interest to me. It's a shoehorn. 5 for effort

Fahrenheit 451
by hopefulcrafty1

Comment:
The very thing - but there are in my view too many unsolved elements. The flames seem really cropped and do not add the frightening element that I wish for. The pages (Grisham?) are almost delicately ripped and placed on top of each other too carefully only to be burned. The lighting is too even for such a terrible event.
I know how hard is to take such a shot, I tried it myself and made a mess in the building!
I bet we'll try it again though!

The Postman Always Rings Twice
by LinMalAng

Comment:
Ha! You illustrated twice a non sequitur title but nothing, nothing of the crime novel perspires here.
It's a good snapshot of a postman ringing a bell once (or twice if we have to take your word).
In any case, I do not mark down a picture for not meeting a challenge but what would I do with this shot other than placing it in a book about, let's say, professions?

The Snows of Kilimanjaro, by Ernest Hemingway
by hahn23

Comment:
The natural lighting here is just so damn hard to capture. The picture is pleasing but stays in between being too muddy for a clear sky day or too brilliant for the mystery of the woods. This being said, I don't think that i would like to see it as a book cover or illustration of Hemingway's novel

Call of the Wild
by BarbB

Comment:
I think that you adapted the title for this image. It's more of a national geographic type

"Airport" by Arthur Hailey (1968)
by HarveyG

Comment:
Well, if you see an airport and take a picture of it you call it "Airport" - but I see no connection with a novel with an eponymous title. A clear shot though

Go tell it to the mountain ~ James Baldwin
by Neat

Comment:
That's a funny error here: you went to tell IT, the story, to the mountain!
Seems like you adapted an image here to a title and your image is very sedated, more than I would imagine suitable for this novel.
I love the layering of the mountains, I do not like that the whole looks a little like dipped in blue ink.

Fanny Hill
by disassociation

Comment:
Your take on this erotic novel is less daring than an Édouard-Henri Avril for instance; it's a well taken picture where the shadows make it more interesting.
I would crop a little from the top of the head and right of the image for more concision

Zafar Mahal - "The Last Mughal" by William Dalrymple
by dougi555

Comment:
You are making me read this book! I like Darlymple writing very, very much and other than some of his articles here and there I was totally engrossed by his book "From the Holy Mountain".
Your picture is good and restrained in its processing and the rosy hues seem to give justice to the monument.
It's true that for this challenge I would have liked more of an interpretative shot, but you produced an honest picture
