I took this picture just, using a flash gun in slave mode and my onboard flash. I converted to sepia in photoshop and adjusted the contrast slightly.
Hope you like it! (5 years and 3519 days ago)

The paper on the left corner of the frame is BOH (blow out highlights,its when the light is so strong that you loose detail).You should diffuse it with a piece of paper or a sheet or something!
I like the mood but i believe that you can do better!!!
You should all so include the whole spiral of the book or nothing at all!
Just some suggestions (imho).
Thank you very much Karaflazz. I actually blew out the top left corner on purpose to add effect to the image, and the bindings were meant to add a compositional value in that empty space up the top, with no points of interest. I do understand your comments of course and thanks for taking the time to write these tips for me.
I did my best!
and, imo, choose your dof (depth of field) a little more carefully, it is a little oof (out of focus) around the pen itself.
