 Lawn chair sitting on the front porch of a rustic log cabin in southern Colorado. Rotated a bit, cropped, adjusted levels, color balance, selective color, and hue and saturation.

This was a capture of a rustic scene. I didn't have the option to swap chairs or move things around.

Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:

Composition: The good old plastic chair. It is something that everyone can relate to. But that red pot is distracting, especially against that background. It makes the image too busy. I like the off centre composition. You did well there.

Technical: The chair seems soft. I can see that the camera has focused on the beam of wood at the bottom behind the chair. Try and focus on the chair and then recompose to get the composition. I would like to see some Shadow/Highlight to bring out the beautiful texture details of the wood.

Overall: I think you chose a great image for the challenge but with a few minor corrections this could have scored much better.

I wish the chair was a little more rustic.

I like this textured piece. I would have looked a bit harder though for a better chair. The resin doesn't help to create a mood in this photo which exists in the surrounding area.
