this looks like a beautiful book I really like the old script which shows its age,
I like the framing and light
on this image and the lens effect works well, good luck in the contest.

This is so very well composed and thought provoking. The creativity is outstanding. It shows how the artist took the time to see a concept and place the scene to to demonstrate it. Very good composition with excellent technical skills. Nice and sharp in quality and presentation. Nicely done.

I love the history and sentimental value of this old Bible that was your Grandmother's. I have my Uncle's He purchased in Israel when he went.
This is a lovely comp with the pages folded making a heart shape and the add of the gold cross.
Love the gold and textures of the background.
Nice work ;)

Comment from Donna Ruiz
A beautiful shot with so much feeling. The story of the significance of this bible can be felt in the image. The composition is really exquisite. The colors and lighting are so lovely. The placement of the pages to form a heart was a very special addition to the shot. Perfect use of vignette. Good luck in the contest. Thanks for sharing this lovely shot and the beautiful story behind the shot.

I hope you did not ruin any of the folded pages. Very artistic how you posed the book and for the lighting you chose. And the accompaniment of the cross. Nice composition and framing. Focus is OK. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image
