I wanted to like this shot more. I really liked the composition. I looked at it for awhile but in the end decided that (even for me) it was a bit to fuzzy and grainy. I think the seats really needed to be in sharper focus. Definitely needed a tripod. I gave it a four because I did like a lot about it. I might have given it a 5 in spite of its technical problems but I didn't see this as an unusual viewpoint. Perhaps you were on your knees to get the chairs so low but it doesn't quite have the effect of an unusual viewpoint to the viewer.
This image is unusual in that it lacks a specific area of the image in sharp focus normally reserved for the main subject. This can be an effective technique that works well with greyscale. In this case it makes me wonder what you are really trying to say.
I think the soft effect might be ok in this image, but the central square in front is so blurred that it's almost not recognizable. This makes me focus on wondering what it is more than how the image works as a whole. I like the composition with the chair lines.
