Technically well done but I'd like to see the books have more relationship to each other. Not sure that Harry Potter = book smarts.

I like this photo, you wouldn't expect to see the man's eyes in between the books.

Nice idea, the lighting is a bit harsh, colors are good though, 6.

Very nicely done. Unfortunately a lot of these books just are not pleasing to the eye. A great idea though.

colour seems a bit washed out, almost gives it the feel ofa 70s indie flick.. good idea though. 7

Nice variety of colors, but the person peeping through is still easily found.

Technicals: 1/2 - skin tone is too reddish, oversaturated

Composition: 0.5/2 - hard to believe those are the hands of the guy behind the books - distance between hands and face is too long, hands do not show the weight of the books; hands are cropped brutally.black border doesn't add anything

Challenge Relation: 2/2

Originality/Creativity: 1.5/2 - person between lots of books is the first idea that comes to mind, but you added an extra with the pose

Overall Impact: 1/2

those books look really heavy, but the hands don't look like they are straining much. a great idea, and fairly well executed, but not really realistic.

The hands are disturbing. It took me quite a while to figure out that he is meant to carry the pile. The books make a very nice frame.
