Lovely image. The wooden slats have a wonderful curve.

Very similar to the SoLiTuDe image submitted as part of this challenge. I like both.

Given the title, I'd like to see the pattern more prominantly featured, or perhaps echoed in the elsewhere in the frame.

This is very dark and would benefit from more contrast I think. Also the blue lighting seems unnatural.

Nice perspective to catch not only the curve of the bench but to echo it in the reflected shorline beyond.

I like this idea, but am wondering if the impact of the bench would be stronger with some burning of the light areas in the background. Not sure, because in some ways the light picks up the curve where the bench leaves off. Interesting.

A little bit too dark - makes it flow together and gets lost.
