Thank you everyone for the comments/critiques!

This was a spur of the moment thing, and I was a bit concerned about having to use my pop-up flash or asking him to hold still for a long exposure, hand-held no less!
Made the best of it with the flash!

What an incredible library! The B&W treatment certainly brings out the variety of books and subjects here.

This shot has a great feel ti it, I'd like to just sit in and start reading. I think the figure needs more contrast and brightness to lift him forward. Love shots that keep me coming back to see more details and this is one of them. Composition is dead on too.

Great image, I particularly like the contrast between the white pages of the book and the black of the gentleman's jumper. I'm slightly confused as to the focal point. Is it the man or the books ?

b&w a must here with so many different books, a good shot well converted and pleasing to the eye.

Thanks LaRee! I was quite surprised to learn from him that there is such a study as "suicidology". (And he has several books on the subject in the photo.)

The flash casts a harshness which seems out of synch with the serenity of this contemplative scene. I really like the subject though - he looks quite handsome to me and I'm feeling I'd like to sit down and chat.

Oh I LOVE books. Reading is one of my very top favorite things to do. I like that the book titles are so clear. My eye is having fun wandering around the image reading the titles. Very good conversion to black and white. Nice work.
