Photo is very strong; nicely composed and exposed, although there are some hot spots at the edge of the clouds nearest the sun. Topically and with reference to your title, I think this would be stronger if there were only one chair.

BEAUTIFUL scene! Nicely shot too! Certainly conveys the message nicely although, I'd be more inclined to say that a single empty chair might have been more effective. However, we get the point and I'm sure those chairs were too heavy to move! LOL

I love this image, I think if you had cloned the back strap out it would have been stronger. Good work

Wow. this is really strong!

I really like the processing. I bet it would be really cool in a low sat as well. Maybe even a duotone... there's a really nice balance between the smoothness of the water and the punch of the static areas. Might be cool if you worked with gentle colors to highlight the difference between the two sides of this image.

A great idea - definitely working towards the 'impact'.

Location looks great, but the harsh and busy black and white treatment makes it too hard to see what's going on here.
