Well, OMG! means Oh My Goodness! or Oh My God! I thought it appropriate when reading a Steven King novel :) I hit the cable release with my right toe because I needed both my hands LOL!

I am hoping to at least break a 4... my skills are dying lately LOL!

Happens alot with King books, doesn't it? Good expression, good light, and I like the B&W background.

Nice idea.
Take care of the details, the price tag on the book is destracting from the overal impact.
Lighting is a bit flat.

That look is priceless ... a great candid representing fear. OMG is definitely portayed here. Unfortunately the image has a snapshot feel to it that detracts from the overal quality (hard flash, focus not on the face but on the book, no sense of composition, etc). Still ... great capture.

Good idea. Some creative lighting and composition would go a long way.
