Wow. A terrific spotlight on "school." On "studying." On "knowledge." The list of things you've hit the head's nail goes on and on. I don't know if I would have noticed the bluish tinge; now that I see it, it does seem the tiniest bit distracting. Nonetheless, the simplest images are often the most meaningful, as well as difficult to execute. You've done it here.

Um...I don't know what the hell I was trying to say with the "head's nail" bit. I was distracted by my 5-yr-old's questions about life. Anyway, I think you get the idea.

beautiful shot! simple, clean, lean. was it taken in a classroom?

Thanks everyone for the comments; they're much appreciated. @Smudo - Yes, it was.

As for the blue tinge people are noticing, I honestly never saw it until others had begun pointing it out. I assume it's a combination effect from the flash (which I didn't intend to fire) and the film (Polaroid 600).

It's funny how people can find the most interesting little details in an image. A lot of the comments on this site have made me realize that I could pay much closer attention to *my own* photos before publishing them, heh.
