Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are OMG there is no chair and that's a mess!

Technically I can't really comment sorry. I just don't know much about this style. All I can say is that a crop to remove the "second horizon" and the bottom would have made me happier.

Artistically it's not bad as far as these sorts of shots go. I like the effect although I also know DPC generally hates it.

In summary no chair but it's not hard to infer the shot is from a chair. Having said that the challenge did say "Include a chair in your photograph" so you ignored the challenge - shame on you and shame on the voters for letting that go!

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.
Gerry

During voting, I skipped over this shot. While I loved the shot, and thought it was amongst the best in the challenge I had seen, I didnt see any chairs, so I abstained from voting. Incredible shot, and in a free study, this is an easy 10.

Oh crap, I just chose this pic as a fave and lost the comment I just left you! Looks like a Group of 7 painting. I love this. OK, so no chairs are visible...big deal. Chairs are normally made from wood. And during voting I *got it* and realized you were in a rocking chair when you shot this. Great work, Oh Noble Leader!

Seems wrong to nominate your photo for Posthumous Ribbons, Part IV but alas I will put it in that thread anyway

Seriously - I have two chairs in my image and you place 9 spots higher and nearly a 5.0??!!!! ;)

I thought when I first saw this that that was the idea - what the camera saw from a rocking chair - and that is a fantastic interpretation of a fairly boring challenge theme, frankly something I wish I had thought of. I love the way the land overlaps itself, like there are trenches just off that porch.

I apologize for robbing you. :)

I like it very much; there is the potential for chair, here.
