I love this shot, the concept is varied and open.
It lures the observer into wanting to see more.
I like the way the light feeds into the pages, how it illuminates the top then begins to fade.
It is quite a magical photo and would serve well as an advertiement to encourage reading.
The way the book is slightly off centre is good too because you know the end of the tale is there but it is just out of reach enough to say come and get me.
I feel that the partition in the pages are a natural phenomena and not placed which to me makes this an even better shot, I love the way the words are just visible enough to draw an avid reader to take a little more notice here.
I find my self very drawn to areas where there is no light at all, wanting to know more.
A good all round image, well done

You know this is one of those rare shots that really make you see many messages in one item. The flipping pages of a book....that's all the eye sees but you're mind starts wondering....what else could it mean? I mean like whiether your trying to gather knowledge or weither it's how long is the princess' hair....it's just something that can't compare to many other shots. It's magical. It really captures you and this is something I've not seen before....very very creative. Bravo to you

5 stars!!!!! FULLY! I really have no constructive crituqe for you I'm afraid but this...doesn't really have any sort of constructive insight to it!
