“ Listening to the Sound of Silence ”
As a former university librarian I found it obvious to search for a quiet moment among bookshelves, although I never worked in this beautiful building. It is no longer an active library, but it is public accessible (entry fee required), and photographing is allowed here. Yay!

    On my edits:

    I struggled with exposure, contrasts and highlights in the lacquered floor, so I had to edit and re-edit the photo several times. I used Topaz Photo AI for reducing noice, sharpening the subject and balancing the exposure. Photoshop helped me with improving the floor, and the final touch was done in Lightroom. 
    You may find the view from outside the window too bright. I tried to darken it (I had another exposure without myself on the photo), but I preferred the brighter version.

    Such a calming image and lovely colours in the library. The composition is excellent, and your focus is spot on as always. I like that even though we can't see your gaze, you can tell that it's a very thoughtful one.

    A perfect image of a quiet moment Marianne. I think you did a great job on the editing as the light overall feels very balanced to me. Have you ever been to the Trinity library in Dublin? ⬇️⬇️⬇️
