Vincent's Chairs, Christchurch

Very intersting photo.

These chairs reminded me of Vincent van Gogh.

The angle is compelling, as are the colors. Just curious--why the severe vignetting? Not a criticism, just curiosity.

To satisfy your curiosity Jeff ( you do know what killed the cat ). It is to draw the eyes to the patterns of woven material and to highlight the different intensity of light on the various sections of the chairs. Or to put it simply because I CAN. Man often asks WHY, I say WHY NOT !!!. It's wonderful being me.

May you all have a wonderful day too, cheers.

Um, okay. . . I'm all for the CAN DO attitude. Your answer cracked me up. Perhaps if we both switched to decaf . . . No, seriously, when I see an unusual treatment, I'm curious these days about the "why" behind the decision. Was it a photographic decision (i.e. to direct the eye) or was it an artistic statement (i.e. "I am directing my spotlight on the emptiness of it all"). I think my own stuff is rather stale, so I'm wondering about the "how" and "why" to jump-start a different course for myself. As I said, my question was not a criticism in the least. The amateur eye always asks why...

How else do we learn if don't ask WHY. So many people are afraid to ask for fear or being silly. It is silly not to ask. Yes, it is midnight here and time for a strong cuppa, doing the nightshift,
