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!

Let me see your photos of books. Images can show books old and new in any setting such as in bookshops, books being read or written, books in libraries or any interesting composition of books. Books have an incredible history and often continue to inspire us, so I look forward to seeing your photos that celebrate books.
