Driving around early Saturday night looking for something interesting to shoot for my PAD. Stumbled across this old chair and some mattresses discarded near the base of the Angus L. MacDonald bridge on the Dartmouth side of the harbour. Set up the chair and took a few shots.
I have no idea how this will do. I like it a lot, which means it should score no higher than in the mid-5's.

I LOVE this photo! It illustrates that for some people, life is just across the bridge if only they could get to it. Depression, loneliness, homelessness - Life on the other side. Maybe the chair is empty because the person who sits in it is already on their way to the other side - towards life....or death? A very evocative shot!
Thanks for leaving such a detailed comment on my photo. I'm very happy to see that the image can stimulate thought to such an extent. I just found that the old chair and the bridge in the background made for a good combo.
I like the chair, lighting, b&w and the idea
but the shots not looking balanced to me... I think turning the chair so the left arm (as we look at it) was to the front might fix it for me ~ 6

I love the urban sense of this. The lighting is spot on. The tilted angle of the chair and the unparallel horizon enhances the mood of the forgotten piece of furniture. 8
