What a fabulous place for photography!

I really like the way that the railing on the right brings the eye into the center of the image. Is it possible to hold back exposure in the area in the upper left to open those shadows a bit more?
 
Gosh! What a neet library and a wonderful image as well. You can do so much there. Keep up with the work. A gold mine of possiblities.
 
This is very nice! It looks like you were sort of suspended in mid air to take this! I hope you weren't! Great angles, textures and depth!
 
Well composed image! It must be tought to get an 8x10 set up in a library, and trying to make sure everything in your image is balanced.

You could really play with visual composition in images like this. For example, taking a few books on the right side of the image, and leaning them all over at a angle. This would hold the viewers eye into the image. Just a fun idea I thought of! Clearly you know what your doing thought because this is a beautiful image!

Please post more of your project.
 
Thanks for all of the kind comments. I plan to post more photos of the project as it evolves.
