WHO DAT?

We kneel in humble reverence before the Great Poohbah and heed the whispered advice not to attempt to sit on the flanking courtiers. Though some think they resemble chairs, they are actually dignified members of the royal retinue.

I have to say that this reminded me of something that might have been done by you, and that, if anyone would comment, it would be you. The raters hate it, so I know it's either that bad, or halfass decent.

David, If the raters hate it, it is brilliantly creative and different. I immediately thought of Jack looking at this. Another wonderful find. I love the symmetry, limited color palette, and especially the other-worldliness of this one.

Once I sit down and settle into this photo, I like it a great deal.  The figure with the back hunched and braced against god-knows-what is quite engaging.  I feel like shouting "wake up!"  The benches, nonchalantly slung back and staring at each other, seem oblivious, self-centered, and so on.  I like how you've framed the landscape, almost as if they, the benches, are ignoring some great work of art.  Is it outside in or inside out?  Who's to say?

Thank you both for your thoughts. These last two posts were ones that I had viewed initially and then decided were not worth working on. The other day, not having any new stuff, I went back and decided there was potential. At first neither pleased me much, but both have grown on me considerably. I'm glad you find they have some merit.

I like the composition. Interesting details.

The empty seats become so inviting here. I want to talk to that guy, if he'll turn around. I like the effect of the cutout in the wall and even the branches on each side play a nice role here. Nice understated use of colors as well.

This for some strange reason reminds me of parents dealing with a child throwing a tantrum.
