The black and white coupled with the choice of DOF really makes this stand out. I dont think it really matters what the books are, just having old, dusty books is enough to conjure up feelings of nostalgia. I would imagine everyone has memories of old books, especially ones you were forbidden to touch as a child. Having the books on the right be stacked differently helps with the feeling of chaotic order. I could just imagine the old library or den where these reside. Wonderful image!

Praise the Lord to see something like this here! What a great set of books! Unfortunately I don't think this photo will inspire many DPCers to reminisce (I am one of the exceptions.)

I like the idea, but having most of the shot out of focus, especially the light areas to the left really screws with my eyes.

Interesting composition, but a bit grainy. A little sharper might be an improvement.

A little too soft. This looks like if clearer, it would've been a really nice pic. I'm not sure what greyscaling did for it, aside from taking away any problems there might've been with the lighting and such. Good effort

A faster shutter speed and something else in the photo could have added interest. 6

Nice composition and I like the subject but this isn't in focus. The glare of the light in the bottom centre is a bit strong, too.
