I really like the radial pattern that the point of focus becomes less sharp from. Lensbaby? It really draws the eye right to the subject, which is in great focus. Excellent lighting as well. :) 8 from me.
Great textures here. I like the blur on the left edge. Working as a vignette to emphasize and lead the focus where you want it. The chair I recognize from the FS still life shot ;) (none voter in this challenge, just leaving my comments)
I liked the way you masterfully played with light/shadow and texture with excellent bw conversion.
Post Challenge: If it wasn't for the unnecessary blurry mess, this would have fetched full-house from me.
Dammit, now I'm going to have to vote in this challenge so I can give this a ten. It must have been tough deciding whether to enter this in light or dark. I'm sure some people would hammer it either way. The lighting is perfect, and the darkness balances it just right. Very chiaroscuro-a-licious. The textures are fantastic. I think B/W was a good choice as well.
terrific light on the pears and seat of the chair. It looks like you've blurred the back of chair which might be a bit distracting. You could consider cropping some off the top instead. just an idea - good luck - 7
