far too much grey in this shot, would be better if it were more grainy and a true B+W shot.

Yep - title down to a tea. Personally find religious fever a bit much - the book mark maybe puts me over the edge very slightly on that front (though for many I am sure that will not be a problem). red stain in book mark hole is slightly distracting. Otherwise like the DoF and composition!

The picture seems too soft. With the how soft it is it began to blur the letters. But over all good concept of the challenge.

I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

Seems smoky. Maybe you messed with the contrast too much.

Nice shot. I like the look of this photograph. A very literal application of the challenge. The colors are good and focus decent. There are some small flecks in the upper right near the page that are a bit distracting.

to me, the lack of contrast doesn't work.
