A bench/chair, or a garbage bin, in the park? Lovely colors!

I'm thinking it's playground equipment as well. I like the subtle background.

I can't say it much better than paulbtlw and ubique did. One of my 3 10s. Very nice shot captured.

I attended my camera club meeting tonight and this girl shot an awesome graphic shot of her toothpaste tube - very shallow depth of field. I thought of your unrecognizable shots. I think shallow DOF will be on my agenda sometime during PAW. :) Still don't know what this is, but definitely outside.

It looks like some kind of play ground equipment, not sure what though.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: One of those images that reminds me that we live in a social world - looking at this feels like touching base with humanity and the reality we all help to socially construct. In this way, the image communications culture. I like how you haven't tried to straighten out the white balance, preferring to leave in tungstenesque. The image is also slightly voyeuristic; we aren't sure he is aware of that - I like that, since it places us there through making us aware of the act of viewing.

Critical stuff: Not much at all really.

Overall: A fine and gentle image.

Beautiful portrait, proving (among other things) that it's not necessary to have grotesquely 'pimped' eyes to make an impact and convey feeling. Thank you.

I was also initially thinking bluetooth headset, but after seeing some of the other comments I'm tending to agree with pipe.

Once again an interesting and curious composition.
