one of my favorites this challenge -- like the use of dof - gives the impression the suject is emerging from the background

risky one here. The use of words/letters draws my eye to them (just the stuff on the bottom of the page) and I'm left struggling between reading and taking in the frame. I'm all around the frame - if I image the frame with the writing blurred or in characters I can't interpret, I get more of a sense of lines and angles with lots of gray. Feel the flat lighting was the way to go but it doesn't add any interest.
