Shelf portrait

This is in a used book store that is absolutely packed full of books. Once I get a 16-35mm I'm definitely going back for some wide-angle shots.

Any crits on composition or conversion? I'm mostly concerned about those two aspects of the photo.

this shot is great! i love how the chemistry book pulls my eye right to the center. i think it's a great idea . . . can't wait to see more! (im curious to see how it would look if the crop was around whole shelves and not halfway through them)

nice :D

Thanks Mandragora :) I didn't take many shots in the bookstore, mainly since I was restricted to a 50mm and couldn't frame as I had in my head. It's a really tight place, filled with books. So once I get that 16-35mm I will definitely get many more interesting angles! I also hope to take a few candid portrait shots of the owner, since he is quite the character always ranting about how people 'never have time to browse.'

Thanks again for the comments!
