 This was one of the more detailed photoshopped exercises that I have done. I could not even detail all of the steps I took to get the final result. It began with a previous entry I made in the paranoia challenge:
.
I think of that picture as "Perception". The Picture I entered in this challenge I consider "Reality". Many people cannot distinguish the two in a dental situation.

I remember when dentistry was a true discipline. The goal of the dentist was simple health and hygiene and nothing more. Postmodernism is the worst thing that ever happened to dentistry in my humble opinion. I would never go to a dentist who bought this book. In fact, after reading Chapter 3, *Anything can be a "Tooth"* and Chapter 4, *All Tooth is Relative*, I may never go to any dentist ever again.

I really like your idea, but the execution makes it look too fake - it all looks too "photoshopped"...... a bit more photoshopping could have fixed that.

Just to mention one example - the text on the spine. It isn't quite in the right position (too far up), and it is way too bright. Being on the side of the book that is very much away from the light, the font, too, needs to be darker/duller.

But I do like your choice of a "carelessly" arranged pile of books.

Unique take on the challenge. I like the idea.

FYI, I think if you would have lowered the opacity of the phone and text a bit, it would blend in with the texture of the book and look a bit more real.
