This shot was taken in quite a hurry .. we went out to a park for a stroll, until of course a thunderstorm came along. It got so windy you would swear you were in a sand storm in a desert. I snapped this one and headed back to the vehicle!

Appears if you selectively desaturated colors to achieve this effect. It would've been a pain to manually select the bits of dirt between the grass behind the bench. Nice idea, but I think with so much brown from the dirt on the right half, it draws attention away from the bench.
This is a nice shot with an interesting point of view. I like the bench being left but the path takes away attention from the bench. If you just left he wood on the bench this would have really popped for me. The contrasts are well doen in the rest of the shot, though the sky seems just a bit dull. A 5
Clean composition, strong detail in the wood grain, and good use of perspective. Perhaps being more aggressive with your desaturation in the grasses and on the far shoreline could have strengthened your vision. Similarly, removing the few grass bits that are overlapping the bench in the foreground would have isolated the bench some more. The border seems a little out of place.
To me, brown is just about the most unattractive color. It's just so dull. I think I would have preferred to see the greens in this, and have the bench and path desaturated.
i was just looking through the thumbs, and this one jumped out at me. i love the angle and variation in textures between the wood, dirt, and brick. great image, i hope it does well.
