Love this style of picture.
Excellent composition and nostalgic.
Dan Greenberg25-Nov-2009 05:01
Great composition - it looks cool with the warm tones. I too have so many books I need and want to get to. Great interpretation of the theme. ~V~

Perfect choice David!! One of these days I'll investigate how is Camilleri in english...! BV

Great colours!V!

I feel the "yellow tint" works beautifully in this shot. I like feeling the warmth. It sets a mood. Super shot of your very interesting collection of books. The background really adds to it.

Love this warm image and your books for reading in the winter...
Sheila12-Nov-2009 10:21
Love this and the background too!
Maaike Huizer12-Nov-2009 09:19
So clever, and ... pictures not always become more interesting when the white balance is exactly right. I like this warm colour.
Aud Elise Sjøsæther12-Nov-2009 09:18
One of these days I guess you will enjoy reading these books.. : ) Very creative shot! V
Raymond Ma12-Nov-2009 06:13
So well said David. I have many " one of these days..." V
Paco López12-Nov-2009 06:00
Very good image!! V!
Barbara Heide11-Nov-2009 23:52
to correct the yellow is not a big deal...even I could find out , and I don't read books about photoshop...
Jim Coffman11-Nov-2009 23:47
I think you have something to do this winter,David! Nice image.
Carol How11-Nov-2009 23:33
Agree with Lou, very insightful and yes I'd also start with that itty bitty one at the top!
Phillip Normanton11-Nov-2009 23:12
I'd start with that iddy-biddy one at the top :o) Stick something blue-ish over your lamp - although I think I like the warm tone too :o))
Jola Dziubinska11-Nov-2009 23:06
Oh yes, all those promises for one of these days :)
lou_rozensteins11-Nov-2009 22:55
Nice shot. You have given us a look at you by showing us your "To be Read" pile. Well done.
Mairéad11-Nov-2009 22:27
I love peeping at other people's book cases -
an interesting and varied collection here, bathed in warm light.
marie-jose wolff11-Nov-2009 21:45
One of these days I'll make good resolutions, I promise you!
nice collection of books!V
Peter Sussex11-Nov-2009 21:44
You have some enviable books. And so is the treatment.
LynnH11-Nov-2009 21:05
You can prevent this tone by changing the white balance in your camera. BUT, I happen to like this yellowish tone. It ages the books and makes it seem like they've been neglected a long time!! V
Stephanie11-Nov-2009 21:00
This image goes perfectly with the song title! Have you been to Croatia? I hope to get there someday!
Guest 11-Nov-2009 20:27
I have a pretty big pile of these too and you have an interesting selection! I think the yellow huw looks good here!
Doug Cruden11-Nov-2009 20:18
I agree, it's fascinating seeing what other people read (and listen too!) Nice echo with the PF album at the back (Delicate Sound of Thunder inner gatefold??)
bill friedlander11-Nov-2009 20:04
Now that pbase has speeded up a little bit, perhaps you will find more time for reading.
Jim's Atavistic Visions11-Nov-2009 19:55
You made this bookshelf very interesting with the play of lights! V!... Josefina
Cindi Smith11-Nov-2009 19:08
Hey, you can use the tungsten setting on your camera to get rid of the yellow tint but I must say I like it this way. What a great shot of those books!
Colin Storey11-Nov-2009 18:11
Wonderful shot of your books. v
borisalex11-Nov-2009 18:01
Very nice selection and you did shot it just wonderful! V.
Walter Otto Koenig11-Nov-2009 17:51
A nice mix of reading and a good shot for this challenge. Frank is right about "Middlemarch", but personally my favorite there are the stories by Mahfouz a writer who has been close to my heart for many years. Be sure to read hi Cairo Trilogy.
FrankB11-Nov-2009 17:06
but if you don't quite get throuh all of them, be sure to read Middlemarch...surely one of the all time greats! :) (PS: the center eyedropper in curves, click on a black...presto)
Nancy Good11-Nov-2009 16:30
I think we all have a "one of these days" pile of books! Love your collection.
lisamidi11-Nov-2009 16:23
Yippie, I'm your twin, I'm in exactly the same situation as well as concerning the books as well as learning to treat my photos, LOL!
Very nice photo and entry all the same!
monica memoli11-Nov-2009 16:22
Bery clever!!!!!!!! I wonder how can they translate Camilleri's sicilian language!
Máire Uí Mhaicín11-Nov-2009 16:06
I love being given an opportunity to look at others' bookshelves. There is a fine eclectic mix there!
