Great balance in this shot..but the LOOK is being killed by the plastic chair in the foreground..it is dominating my eye. The rest of the shot works..nice job.
I like this a lot. However, I think it would have been even better if you would have removed the white chair. It draws too much attention and distracts the balance. Still 8.
I like your choice of subject a lot, it is a very honest interpretation that fits very well with the challenge. I am not at all impressed with the postprocessing.
Very mundane but has a wonderfully subtle flow and balance through out. The white chair really stands out against the otherwise symmetrical composition. The more I think about it the more I like it. Good job. 8
What a pleasant porch. Love the framing and the flower on the bottom righ really invites you in. The left bunch give it a sense of calm. The white chair is a bit distracting. The color just throws a curve into it all.
You neat imaged this? I prefer only using this level of illumanance on portratures. I would have lowered the settings on NI. The shot is very busy. Now I like busy but there is nothing that stands out, except for that plastic white chair that looks out of place. 4
