"I Should Read More Often..."

Comment by Olyuzi:
The idea is a good one and meets the challenge well but I believe your lighting is not well controlled. For one thing, the dollar bills are dark from shadows from lighting that is not well positioned. Also, the lighting is creating back lighting on the pages on the left side showing through the back side of the pages. I may not have used a book with illustrations or pictures as this detracts from the impact of your subject, which is already weakened by poor lighting. Finally, cropping at the top seems constrained.

Some halos around the trunks of the trees; I usually sharpen less to prevent that.

#1 kind of unoriginal (how were you supposed to know) of trees at sunset
#2 I would like to see three trees instead of 4 (triangulation: the eye is drawn to threes)
Good shot overall though, I like the mountain range in the bg(background).

needs better lighting. the subjec,t the money, is too dark compared to the lower part of the image, the pages. my eye is drawn away from what you want me to see.

Lovely shot. Almost to much sky for my taste. The colors are nice and great composition.
