Lots of ideas for this challenge in a wide range of settings. From indoors to out. From staged to found. There are so many options that I had a bit of a hard time concentrating on what I wanted to get out of this challenge.
In the end, I decided it would be cool to show off the seating in the auditorium at work, without anyone present. Headed there on a weekend, and setup my camera on a tripod to get a number of shots from different angles, rows, etc. The lighting in this room is decent, so I didn't need to worry about supplemental lighting, and could get a very natural feeling.
Post Processing:
* Flip horizontal (flows better with chairs starting from right)
* Noies Reduction
* Increase definition and saturation slightly
* S curve
* Slight blurring of background and sharpening of foreground
* Export as TIFF
* Resize
* Sharpen Edges

Very good illustration of the theme. The brightness of red balances the emptiness and thus avoids the usual sadness that comes with emptiness. That is my impression, ofc!
