Light Speed

A simple but innovative idea, well executed.

As I'm looking at it on my screen, the image is covered in tiny rectangular blotches. I'm not sure if that's part of the image, or some artifact of my browser. But it is a little distracting.

If it was me, I'd have aimed for some more light and contrast on the candle.

I'd be interested to here how you composed the shot.

I think this is a great idea for a "blur" composition. With a little bit of work, the "great idea" could become a great photo. A few things I'd look to improve:
1. Framing: the 2 main elements of the photo - the book and the face - are both a little out of frame. I would have made sure that all of the book, at least, was in-frame.
2. Lighting: the lighting on the face is a little flat. I'd have tried to get a little more contrast happening on the face.
3. Focus: the crispest, best lit part of the composition is the shoulder; well away from what are (I assume) supposed to be the main elements - the face and the book. This draws my eye away from the main elements.

Don't get me wrong, it's a gresat idea, and there are some very good elements in the execution. The blur of the pages and the lighting on the book is well executed, and the expression on the face is just right. If you'd got a better result in the other areas that I mentioned, it would have been great.
