 A shot from the Frankenmuth GTG. I may be offbase on this one. My understanding of the challenge, and from looking at the first one, I thought the bench had nice 'rythm' to it, with the repetitive lines and curves. I thought maybe a tight crop on the bench could be more to the point, but I think that actually including all the brightly colored flowers of the surrounding area actually makes the bench stand out more. I think that the sharp vertical comp has some good dynamics. The fire hydrant? I feel it adds to the scene, but I can see it if voters call it a distraction. We shall see. I do wish that this were advanced, I'd clone out the base of the pole :-)

In ps-cropped, slight usm, selective color adj, levels adj, curves adj,

thanks for checking out my pic :-)

Could have been more appealing with a person in the frame, maybe demonstrating the title! :)

Nice movement inwards. The use of colour and line is very effective.

Could you have taken it the other direction and missed the fire hydrant?

The chair sits well amongst the flowers. And as bright as the flowers are the chair is still the end focus. Good job.

Vibrant color. A crop excluding the fire hydrant would have been better, I think.
