Some of my books, not all of them. Lighting harsh on the glossy paperbacks.

Not much editing, just some sharpening.

Not a bad photo but the number of shots in this challenge of people sitting behind a stack of books is hurting you in my opinion....I've seen enough already that I'm starting to vote 5's purely on the "unoriginal" factor.

Book smart? Or just a loner?

Technicals: 1/2 - good focus; noise in midtones; shadows are too dark

Composition: 1.5/2 - angles of the books lead to the reader, good distribution of light; background objects distract; soft border makes no sense to me

Challenge Relation: 1.5/2 - choice of book scould be much smarter

Originality/Creativity: 1/2 - the first idea that comes to mind

Overall Impact: 1/2

Great lighting and contrast. B&W really works well for this image.

like the composition.. maybe if the person was filling up more of the background (as in closer) it would have more impact..
