Good choice of subject and nice exposure. I don't really care for this overhead point of view, however. It winds up looking too literal to me--as if the photographer came across the chair and just looked down and snapped the shot without really considering the best approach. The fact that it was shot at a bit of angle in the frame suggests otherwise to me. I think you did think it out and chose this POV for a reason. I'm just not in agreement with your choice. The angle adds a nice diagonal tension to the frame but it doesn't make much sense to me in terms of the subject--an old, rusted and rotting school desk and chair suggests a 'quieter' approach then the 'exciting' visual tension that diagonals create.
Agree...its different concept on subject...
Its good compozition and focus but background i dont like much... its too spotted and takes attention from main objects.
