 Beautiful sunny day in Seattle at the Olympic Sculpture Park. The chairs there are as much as a part of the aesthetic as the installations themselves with their bold red shade.

I noticed these two chairs that had clearly been placed by a couple enjoying a moment together, the chair legs intertwined.

While the couple have long gone, that moment persists in this subtle arrangement.

Nice work presenting the concept without any people in it.

This is what its all about, expressing the concept without actually showing it

No people – rather a hint on something happening out of the frame! At least that’s the way your idea appears to me. Hope picture does well in the challenge.

I would never have thought that chairs could display intimacy, but you've done it here. A fun capture and good lines and colors.

This is a great shot, OOB! My only complaint is that the color of the chairs doesnt really stand out as much as it could! 9
