 Taken through a fence at an apartment demolition site near my place. There was garbage everywhere, including this open book.
This would actually fall under advanced editing rules but I thought it worked well for this competition.
As my first ever members entry, I hope it does well.

This one I like. Great texture and exposure and environment. Only thing I really dislike is the addition of BOTH vignettign and a frame, I think that´s a bit redundant and would have preferred this entry with only either but still one of the effects. Anyway, one of the best in the challenge as far as I am concerned, gave it an 8.

If i only could read the pages of the book, if the image were closer, if the pages were muddy. Well lit, but I can't see the theme of this image without the title. I will give you a 7 for creativity and lighting..

I like the feeling of this one. Makes you wonder what is the story behind the shot!

An interesting photo and title. Any advance editing? I barely noticed the border you've added...I think a dark grey border would have been better.

Very nice. The mound under the book looks like an alligator.

very nice idea and composition, but the brown frame distracts, were gone for black or none
