Took this picture at a church in Cork, Ireland. The document is a handwritten book of sermons from 1667. This proved a tricky shot thanks to the book being behind glass and exceptionally poor lighting, but I managed to capture it to my satisfaction after several minutes of tinkering with the exposure and focus point.

I like the comp but wish the lighting was a little better. Good shot though.

A unique desktop image. The brown ink used looks good here, and I like the striking penmanship of this document. A well done shot taken through glass. Christopher, I think your tinkering paid off :^)

I need to catch up on things so can't comment too much. But I love all of your fine images :)

I like the lighting in this one, I think it adds texture to the paper. The penmanship itself has a wonderfully artistic value. Nice!!
