This was my grandmother's chair. It has been reupholstered with a fabric my husband bought in England. The pattern isn't completely symmetrical, so I expect some comments and/or low votes on that. Also it's not a very exciting subject or composition, so I expect a score somewhere around 4.5. I am happy with the processing which brought out the detail of the fabric.
Cropped, adjusted shadows/highlights and exposure, added gradient border, desaturated with Channel Mixer, B & W gradient map, Hue/Sat layer to add slight tint, reduced size, smart sharpened, saved for web.

Another Team Sucker in my top tier of votes. I like the quietness (ie kiss of death on DPC) of this - fine detail, nice soft light, and symmetrical enough for me. It's a beautiful chair and I like the fabric.
This is a nice B&W study. Maybe underexpose by a half stop as it is on the bright end. Good textures and I like the way the composition show just a bit of the lower legs.
