I went to the optometrist the other day to have an eye test - I found I was occasionally having problems with small print. Consequently I have now been prescribed glasses to correct slight astigmatism in both eyes. I hardly wear them at all, but I was just playing around with some photos and came up with this.

Tracy, Annemf, Darryl, many thanks for your feedback on this image. I prefer this look with the slightly blurred text to just a 'standard' photo. The lenses themselves are not very strong, so I gave the pic a helping hand with photoshop.

How unique is this?! Wow. I am very impressed with this idea. The glasses command respect and appreciation.

I absolutely love it. Very artistic on how an object can put things into perspective making things able to understand. I was wondering, however, if you could take the same photo...but rather than on a fantasy novel, on the Bible. And I was wondering, if you could do that...then if I could use it as background for a title page for a Bible study?

This is a very nice idea...Sounds common but details change it a lot..Which you used very cleverly...The angle...Glasses out of cadre...And the clear writing after glasses...Very nice...great shot..

I liked the first 3 Sword of Truth books... but then they go downhill... but that's not important! Great work!

This is a really nice photo, I like the focus through the glasses and it's blurred outside. Very nice choice on book. Well done

"...great things do not happen by impulse but are a succession of small things linkes together."
I like this, I don't know why but it makes a very good background. What book is it if you don't mind me asking? Also this was on the TNI and it got a 10/10 from me.

'Truth is like a two-sided sword it cuts deep.' - Bono Come to my Gallery.--uploading images soon...
So tempting to ask what book it is for the fifth time.... but ill be nice, by the way, nice effect and the photoshop blur isnt unrealistic like in many pictures, in others words good work.

I just ran across this -- a great idea .. especially with the focus difference (enhanced or not!) Nice shot!
