I had taken a photo of these chairs a few days before the challenge was announced, and as soon as I saw this challenge come up I knew what I was going to re-shoot. Funny thing, on my re-shoot I changed very little. The final angle that I chose ended up being nearly identical, and the lighting very similar as well. I did manage to nearly eliminate one distracting background element (a street sign), so I did improve slightly.
Post Processing

* Increase exposure
* Increase saturation and vibrancy
* S-curve
* Very slight blurring to background tree (Topaz Detail added too much detail there).
* Export to TIFF
* Resize
* Sharpen Edges
* Save as JPEG
