I like your picture a lot but I feel the artistic processing is overdone. The image stands on its own.

LOVING your edit .. !!! ..
of course some may object to a photo being turned into a painting ..
but i say .. bring it on . !! ..
its just another creative approach ..
we have so many tools at our disposal now regarding photography ..
its not just a photo we can take .. photography has moved into the realms of whatever we want to make it .. of course ppl used to do some very creative things in the darkroom .. ;)

this might be my fav in the challenge ..
and with said .. kapow .. a big vote . !!! .. :)
oh .. ps .. its not just the edit . its the photograph that i can see thru that edit .. good one .. :)

I didn't vote in this challenge - I want pick me ups not put me downs right now.

That said, the negative space here really adds to the overall 'sadness' you are portraying. (oh and I have a wonky chair like this as well).
