 miniature chair against a curved white posterboard lit by a window off the the left. perhaps a bit too much chair for negative space? I think the shadows are what's interesting here.

rotated to level, cropped, converted to b&w, curves, gradiant layer, color balance layer, gaussian blur, convert to tritones to add depth of grays, NI, sharpen, NI some more, thin layer of blur to remove sharpening lines (still in there to a lesser extent)

Nice and simple. The border seems to add to this one nicely.

a crisp chair shadow and a closer crop would have created a sense of negative space here.

The lighting is suberb. Nice perspective and I think this will be in the top ten.

A child's silent chair. Quite powerful, imo.
