Chair no. 1

I am doing a series on old or unusual chairs and their relation to human

activity and to nature. Thanks for looking and for your opinion.

I think it is beautifully composed and you have a great concept. For my part, I think the light is a bit strong and find it unfortunate that the seat of the chair appears washed out (at least on my screen). But the photo and the atmosphere it conveys are captivating.

Thanks, Otto, for your critique. I placed the chair carefully to get the composition I felt would convey best the feeling I wanted.  You are quite right about the lack of detail on the chair seat. The attached low resoulution image was redone to reduce the higher light values there, although I didn't do this selectively just for the chair seat but for the overall image. Selective burning in of the seat alone would have been better I think.
