Books

This remarkable image caught, and held, my attention over and over. It captures the essence of books even though the reader isn't seen, and evokes the readers love and attention to a cherished book. The composition is compelling with the expressive hands holding the precious volume, and the smoke adds to the atmosphere of the image. Beautiful and well done, and congratulations on First Place!

Books are a natural for a still life composition, and this excellent photo is beautifully done! All the elements blend nicely together to give the viewer the idea that it's all about gardening. The lighting highlights the books and gently fades to the edges, giving it a artistic touch. Congratulations on Third Place!

Such a unique view of this modern library in Stuttgart! It is perfectly aligned to give the viewer an excellent view of the 5 floors. The lines are clean and with everything white, the books are highlighted. Well done, and congratulations on Second Place!
