I decided this image needs something quirky, I thought about including a hole through the book. I found this image in the picture book of the cartoon which I thought I could try to manipulate and introduce into the image.

I defintiely think that this image needs something like this on the book to create the quirky quality I would like all my images to have but I don't think that the angle of this image is necessarily working well in this photograph! Th editing and sharpness of the hole suits the image as a whole,  but I don't think I like having Alice the cartoon character version in the image and falling down the Rabbit hole. I think I will experiemnt further with ideas of what to use instead of this image.
