Oh no. . . you could never regret this. . .it's awesome! I think the score of the commenters is more deserving of this photo, but still a great finish :)

Very emotive shot. I would NEVER leave one of my books out like this, so it makes me wonder what book it is, and why it's there, and then a whole mess of other questions! Love the idea, the B&W, the presentation. I'd recommend a black border. Hope to see this on the winner's page! 10

Oh my, not a very good rain simulation, but oh well, good for you for getting the hose out and soaking a book. This is quite an unusual photo. I'm nearly finished scoring this challenge and I'm pretty sure that there won't be any other entries where someone has turned the hose on a book. I don't find anything interesting in this shot other than the intrigue of what would posess someone to come up with the idea of hosing down a book and calling it "Forgotten". It is for this reason alone I'm giving this shot a 10. Of course, if I suddenly hit several more entries of books being hosed down, I'll come back & adjust.

now how did you ever get rain trails that long? PP perhaps? IMHO the image is a tad too dark and it seems like you had to dodge the pages just a bit to bring out a bit of detail... 6

Very creative shot. Nice job with lighting too - love the "spotlights" on the book pages - nice touch.

I love the b&w! The placement of the book with its wrinkled pages & the glasses just peaking behind it is just great! Very well done!

Interesting, perhaps colour might suit this better, although it's hard to imagine.

that's very cool, the angles are excellent, and the tonal range is right on. Love it - 9

The sheeting rain almost looks like rays of light. I like the black and white used on the image. I am a reader, though, and I cringed when I saw the book left out in the rain. Still, the image is well rendered.

Interesting idea, I think a wider angle would suit the shot more. Don't really like the tilt, a more definite angle or level perhaps; the lightness on the pages is good.
08/16/2005 05:43:28 PM
Strongest part of the photo is how the light falls on the book, perfect. Even a little river in the middle of it. 7

Finally....something interesting and unexpected in the rain....thanks for submitting this.

In my opinion, this otherwise very nice photo suffers from the fact that the "rain" looks more like a hose with a sprinkler attachment.

Incredible shot - love the feeling of anxiety this shot gives me - want to run out and save it...10!
