Greetings from the Critique Club

I see this is just your second Challenge. Welcome to the land of DPC.

Your image is an interesting one, but I suspect its meaning was lost on our viewer/voters. It may be you were going for an edgy composition with the book in the exact center of your frame, but to our viewers it looked like a 'mistake' and they voted accordingly. And to get your point across, it might have been better to use more than one book so your educated flyer would be a 'well rounded one'and you would not get dinged for perceived copying of an existing artwork. Of course you interpreted, not copied it with your unique lighting. I am assuming your lighting and unusual camera settings were meant to give a feeling of 'impending doom' to your image.

So, all in all, a gallant try, but not an image with which our viewers were able to connect.

I'll look forward to seeing more of your images on DPC.

This doesn't quite work for me. There is a large dead area on the lower left. I thought about cropping it out but then you would lose the point of the triangle formed by the sky and road.

The lighting is interesting but I think you could have done more with the composition to make it more creative.

Cool object, seems a bit of a stretch to fit it in this challenge.

Somewhat uninspired - just a picture of a book.

Seems like a plain shot of a book, with very little creativity added to the composition except maybe the color.
