single photos Reading Newspaper

This was taken in the under renovation lobby of a hotel. The sofas

were tastefully flung around and the comics were funny. Please

Quite pleasing to look. No complaints here. At first, I thought it was strang that the dark side of the image had a bright light hitting the newspaper,but finally realized that it's the light bleeding through. Great shot. See, you don't need a Hassy or Leica to do nice stuff.

I have an odd reaction to this image. I like the small version *much* better than the medium or large. When enlarged, the detail in the sofa fabric and newspaper become quite distracting. The backlit newspaper does not seem to "glow". I find this odd because so often on photo.net I want to see the images larger. So, on an abstract level I like the composition and lighting but feel let down by some of the business in the details.

The soft light is nice! The "glowing" paper, paper silhouette, model's left hand, hair, sofas...

Attention grabbing. I keep wondering what she's reading. Tough I would crop heavily on the left side. It's not needed. I'm still going to rate high for originality

Great light!

Very nice!

I'm from Taiwan and apologize for my English in advance. It's interesting that this picture to me could be split into two sides. The (girl's) left side is a piece of dark newspaper with a light backround: the right side in contrast, is a "glowing" piece of newspaper in a darker backround. Nice composition with appealing tone. I agree the right side should be cropped more.
