Wanted to present something a little different with a messsge. Hopefully I was successful.

The graininess is intentional, used ISO of 1600 with low light and relatively fast shutter.

Post processing:
- RAW conversion
- USM sharpening (a little extra)
- A little color desaturation.
- Levels adjustment for increased contrast
- Crop
- Frame
- JPEG conversion

Ah, very nice. I got the point even before I saw the title.

What's the vertical line, though? Looks like a spike through the paper, so it distracts me.

Not quite, although a decent photo that speaks of something else, just not stationery in particular.

Nice contrast, nice use of grain, well composed. The reflection from the doorknob is distracting as is the abundance of light coming through the door. Correcting those two items would much improve this very nice photo. Cool Photo!

Love the contrast in this B&W conversion. The bright strip of light down the center of the image is very distracting.

Great idea. Great lighting. I think I might have desaturated that tie a little more. And I find the vertical crack a little distracting.

This would have been better if there was a silhouette behind teh crack of the door. Great shot!

Black and white is perfect here, great title as well, makes you go back for a second look and tells a story in two words, but like they say a picture is worth a thousand words and in this case its true.

The white line near the middle (an open door?) hurts this one. B/W was a good choice.

Nice, this speaks more to "paper" than Stationaery, but a great image none the less.

I like the mood created by the B&W and graininess of this image.
