Beautiful. It's great picture. I enjoy the lines and the framing. I don't think it'll do well. There's a bunch of post processing you can do to make the picture better, but it's far too much to explain here. I would've given you a low score for the cluter, but the clutter in this picture adds to it.

Maybe just burning the edges to draw your attention to the center. Also dodging the main house will help draw attention to it. Maybe that's all it needs. Good luck.

I was one of your 8's. I think this is extremely creative. What a great idea and capture.

I really like the shot. Pushing the edge of the envelope, so to speak.

Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:

Composition:This image is showing a different angle then most of the entries. I like the idea. The lines, curves and lighting are just fantastic. I would, however, remove the lower horizontal bar as it is out of focus.

Technical: Now this is where you were let down. For starters your image is out of perspective. Look at the right side. It is straight, but the left side is crooked. I have uploaded my version of your image to show you what I am talking about. And I will tell you what I did. I was working with your small version so it would probably have been much better if I started with the large version.

I started by using the crop tool and clicking perspective and lined up the two sides of the crop tool to the sides of your image. That then straightened the overall image and removed the initial borders. I also removed the lower bar. I then used Highlight/Shadow to bring up the beautiful detail in the wood. I then played with the Hue & Saturation and the Brightness & Contrast to get the punch in the wood. A run through with Neat Image and then I added a 1 pixel grey border followed by the 30 pixes white border.

Overall:This image has so much potential. I can seriously see this hanging in an office building in a large city. Run with it and don't give up your fantastic eye for detail. But please...apply that detail to the finishing areas of your work.

Someone using the phone would really complete this shot, IMO.

Unique idea, creative play on words & nice set-up! ...however, IMHO the blinds are distracting, especially in the finer wood working in the upper portion of the chair backs. I wish the chairs offerd more contrast, as is, the blinds seem more interesting.
