The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
My husband collects aviation history books and he found this one recently at quite a bargain. I think it’s worth a premium for its appearance. I tried to bring out its character with a limited focus stack and indirect window lighting.
Specific Feedback
All comments welcome!
Technical Details
Minor tonal and color work in LR. Into PS for denoise and a vignette. Full frame.

Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas.
We love old books too, and have a few treasures as well.
Great look at this wonderful edition. The wrinkled cover and bent pages have such character - Your DOF and stacking is perfect for what you wanted to achieve. It would be neat to have the Title discernable if at all possible, but still with the gradient at the top.
Thanks, @SandyR-B and @Dennis_Plank! The title was barely readable, even looking at it, but I’ve added a full stack above, with slightly different lighting. It’s a maintenance and overhaul manual for a British engine built in the 1930’s.
Thanks, @SandyR-B, and thanks @Dennis_Plank for the EP! I told Ted this deserved a place in the book wall in the great room, and it is now resting at this angle on a shelf occupied by a few other old artifacts. It was completely unappreciated in his aviation library.
