One of my top five this challenge. Reminds me of the "grace" picture in the Utah salt flats. I won't be a bit surprised to find out it's the same area. Unlike some of the others with centered church-roof compositions, this has subtlety to it and obviously careful lighting and attention to detail.

This photo is excellent. Almost looks like a charcoal. The composition, cropping and choice of B&W was excellent.

Comment by moodville:
I can see where you are trying for dramatic lighting, but the shadows on the right are just a little too dark and as such distract from the overall mood. Perhaps a soft light on the right could have lightened up that area just a little. As a still life goes, this is something different for me, but it works well. The contrasts on the book is good, it's just the background that could have done with a ltitle more tweaking. Overall it's a good shot.

Lighting is excellent. I like how the open book is highlighted. Also like that the light coming from the top left leads your eyes toward the books on the shelf. It helps to hightlight the titles of some of the books. "10"

I would have liked to see more of the other books... just a hint of light.

one of my faves - could be based in a time a few hundred years ago - natural light is great
