That couch reminds me of the huge cushy chairs in our library. I want to go there now and just take a nap. Bad idea with a test coming up. Looks quiet indeed.

Nice thought, not such a nice pic. Sort of boring.

The big wall int he middle takes away from teh photo.

Best of luck ona fine shot. The white wall is too overpowering. Could you have stepped back?

I think a different angle would be more interesting. One where the pillar is not so omnipresent.

Wow. I'm a sucker for photos like this where there are all sorts of little details to discover.

Challenging - having a huge blank element right in the middle of the frame. I'm not sure whether this works or not, yet.

A good idea, but I think it wasn't executed very well. The big column in the middle seems to be there for a reason, but I can't imagine why. A "No Talking" or "Quiet" sign on this would make it understandable, but a blank white column doesn't seem to have much meaning. It also would have been nice to play with the sunbeams a bit more.

I like the concept. A lot of action here.

bad composition - over 1/2 the pic is a blank wall. (and a noisy/grainy one at that) Unless the point of this pic is to have me look at a large blank wall.

The large white object/partition spoils it for me

Very creative composition. I love the solitude you've captured by having a lone figure on the right, balanced by the bookshelves on the left. Normally, the chunk of wall in the middle would be a little too weird, but the fact that the sunlight cuts across and joins it to the right side of the frame makes it all work very well together. Great work - don't be surprised or too disappointed if a lot of people here don't "get" it, though. It's very artistic and the voting public doesn't always consider the concepts of composition and art as much as they look for a "wow" factor. 9

Good idea, but I don't like the compo.

Appears to be a shot of a blank wall, not really seeing much in the way of a library. [books, people, tables...etc] Maybe a different composition here.
