Greetings M. Beguin. Before I start this, I was looking at your comments and I must say I'm glad you didn't win because if you did, then I would've blown my best shot at winning anything on DPC. You have plenty of ribbons, you can spare this one.
Composition - Nice array of chairs with some good shadow patterns. I think you did an outstanding job conveying the warmth of the wood to the voters. This is a surprisingly simple scene, but with all the shadows and the angle you took this picture from, it sure looks like a lot is going on. The angle and the way you framed this is very good.
Technical - Besides the hot spot in the center of the picture, it is almost perfectly exposed. Everything is very nicely focused. I think the hot spot in the middle of the picture is the only thing really wrong with this picture.
Overall - I've been thinking about this picture for 24h. Honestly, its a quality pic, but I have a hard time telling you that I don't really like it. If it was someone else, it would be easier. But it doesn't really do anything for me. There... I said it. It can be difficult to say something like that from someone like me to a more experienced, obviously better photographer like you, on a week where I won the challenge I'm critiquing a photo for, and not sound condescending. This has been awkward and I'm glad its done. Hopefully you can understand what I'm trying to say. Good luck in future challenges. - Bob
My goodness. This photo should have won first place. Why it didn't is just beyond me. I really wish I would see the opportunities to take pictures like this one. Oh well.
Some might not like this because it is technicallly not an office, but I love this shot. The lighting, shadows and lines all add up to superb photography. One of my favorites for the challenge!
This a beautiful picture! What can I say ... the patterns, the shadows, the golden colour on the straw seats, the square format, everything is beautiful. 10 from me.
Nice use of light. Great shadows. Colours are very good. I'm going to vote this very high as it stands out as more artistic than the others. 9 good luck your in my top 3 this week.
I keep coming back to this one, so I'm bumping up the score to a 9. The shadows are beautiful and the lighting perfect for the moodiness of it. Congrats!
Excellent use of light to bring out the gorgeous warm tones you've captured in this image. This is remarkably well done. Really gives the viewer a sense of feeling, as if you were standing in the photograph. 10
