Very nice abstract feel to this. Great lighting.

Thank you.

Nice pattern, lighting and shadows

surreal light and shadows, depth of field, it's amazing

Thanks kyricom and rumi. Appreciate the comments.

Great shot!

Very nice. I think I might crop a little from the left and bottom to move the spines over to the left a little. But a cool shot

Absolutely. It's YOUR shot. I just tend to like things de-centered, but I know many don't.

I think that this works centered because of the contrast between the sharp/crisp subject and the soft background. I also like it this way because of the vertical orientation. If it were square, I wouldn't like it that way.
