Lovely, but I can't help wondering it wouldn't be better in colour or even sepia.

I changed from colour to black and white because the colours were too flat.
Gave it a little sepia, i think you are right it makes it better.
thanks!

well done, far more interesting now.

A lovely photo, but without a High-Res, we really can't see the image properly, what we see here is a down sampled version of what you uploaded, this is why it's important to tick Also save full resolution image. You can still do this, you may have to upload your image again.

Your image doesn't need to be enormous, anything between 2.5mg and 3.5mg is plenty big enough.
Good luck

Very nice. Wish it was pulled back just a little so all of the book was visable. (could use a high res, too)

Congrats

Nice Shot! I love the textural elements of the grainy wood with the dust and even the metal screws. Good Luck.
