About the Image(s)

Sitting reading a large format book on my knee beside a large window, I was fascinated with the changing light hitting the pages and gutter of the book. No camera handy so I took several photographs with my phone - they are all quite different taken over several minutes and I like this one.

Very minimalistic. I like how the right hand side bleeds out of the image. Nice seeing.   Posted: 07/12/2024 13:36:14

Nice how the glare on the dark page to the right mirrors the shadow on the light page to the left. I also like how you organized the frame. The only thing I'm not sure about is the background up top. Is it a bit busy compared to the minimalism of the rest of the image?   Posted: 07/16/2024 17:32:03

Thanks Ken. The background is as was and is out of focus carpet which I just left as it appeared in the image.   Posted: 07/19/2024 08:47:11

Very minimalistic and abstract. The background at the top can be cropped to about half its size without losing anything, and I think that would strengthen the composition.   Posted: 07/22/2024 15:11:06
