 Last minute entry: Flipped the pages of 'A Tale of Two Cities' until I got something okay. Rear flash + dim incandescent light. Curves, curves, curves, USM...

Reinforces my theory that my score goes up when I DON'T try...

it's some sort of fiberous object, maybe paper, but much thicker.. it's a very pretty shot and I applaud you for being artistic & not just taking a picture of something up close that's not interesting or appealing to look at.. 10

A cool shot. I like the way you've composed it. The dof and lines really help drive the shot. Nice job. my guess- a notebook, or stack of paper :-)

My favorite of the Challenge so far. I would say it is the top of a book with the pages riffled, but what do I know!

The multiple lighting sources make this shot. The focus point is perfect for the effect AND the affect of the photo! Outstanding work!!
