They're both great, but I think the grey background is not fitting. If you'd render the bible and paste it onto a nicer background, that will surely improve the look.
Nice pictures and filters, the only thing is the noise needs to be cleaned up. If you haven't I recommend you install GreyC the best noise removal plugin available, or G'Mic, the updated version of GreyC with all kinda of other effects and filters.
Thanks, I'll look into that. The reason there is so much noise, is because the photos are hdr. Thanks for all of the replies, this place seems pretty active.
