Thank you all for the recent support  Since i get a lot of equipment questions: I used Canon 350D, 50mm 1.4 set at 1.4. Taken in natural light and i underexposed the shot 3 steps to get one strong highlight area and darker overall Any fav and feedback is very appreciated ©Sortvind Not to be used in any way without my permission. Comments Wonderful image!
-- I am magic!   Wow, amazing!
 wow.
-- Today I sneezed and no one said bless you. It made me feel sad. The person next to me sneezed and I screamed bless you in there face to make them feel appreciated. They looked a little frightned. MLIA  Beautiful light and soft focus.
 -- I'm French, sorry for my poor English.  very nice shot, the colours are very warm it and relaxing
 a moment of wisdom indeed
very nice shot i wonder if you'd make a wallpaper out of it?  I love the lighting very much and the colors fit very good. It reminds me of an old library with really old books. I think because of the depth of field the shot has something mystical.
 nice tecnique.

Critiques
From a technical standpoint, the depth of field is perfect, focusing just on the very end of the book and letting the pages fade into a blur. The fact that it's not focused too sharply helps to show a warm, dreamy atmosphere that could have been ruined, had there been too much contrast between the edges of the pages and the rest of the piece.
The lighting and colours are also amazing, catching the eye with a subtle contrast and warm colours, without being an eyesore.
And, while this is purely personal preference, I adore the subject matter used.
