One of the strongest 'bench only' shots in the challenge, I think. Vibrant colors make it. Commenting only.

I really loved this photo. The way you've captured the sky behind the bench made me wanna jump on that bench and fly away or something... Speechless...

You jerks with your beautiful natural scenery. All the scenery here in Japan is covered in tourists and telephone wires. 8

I would have rated this way higher than it got, I think it should be in the top three. It's a little heavy handed with the saturation/"painterly" story-book aesthetic, but I like it a lot, and the aesthetic goes well with the picture. The blue spots come out so strong, they look a little odd.

I'd have maybe cropped the house a little closer into the bottom left corner, but that's just me. Good job, anyway. The lines of that collapsing house are just great- it has so much twist.
