Looks like a sepia toned picture. The brown border only enhances the sepia effect.

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.

Comment by movieman:
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 would have just colored the bench. Not the ground. But, what do I know? 6

Contrast is perfect. It really makes the shot interesting and pops out of the background. The toning is excellent. The frame works perfectly in concert with the wheel. "10"
