Yeah, obviously I didn't find this chair conveniently sitting on the beach - I dragged it all the way down there and positioned it nicely for the photo. The only problem was that there was a big swell, waves between 4-5m, so the chair kept getting moved around as the wash came in! Finally I got one where it stayed still, and this is the result.
I had originally gone with my friend Cecile to take some modelling-type photos with the sunset behind her, and actually took this one as an afterthought. I think it's probably more DPC-friendly. Hope I didn't make the wrong decision! Here's one of the ones from the session before:

I'm glad I've come back again to this image. I just disabled the calibration on my monitor for now because it tends to make my monitor a bit on the dark side and it really helped me appreciate this image. I still agree that the chair does get lost in the scene however based on its position in the image your eye does find it.
I personally like more contrast in my skies in monochrome but that's me being nitpicky and its still nice the way it is. It would be nice if the rocks in the background had more detail but I am guessing that wasn't an option at this time of day.
Overall a great image. I would like to see what this looked like in color.
