An interesting image that contributes well to the challenge

Good seeing Manic. Any abstract that makes you think for a while has got to be good, this makes you think for a while. I like your use of diagonals to add a dynamic construct it works well. The random patterns of the blacks really adds to the abstract nature of the image. In terms of the challenge, yes it is reminiscent of Aaron’s work, sell done.

Marshmallows! Great contrast. (I do love the textures underfoot when there's weather) 7

True art indeed, this is a wonderful image. I like everything about it, its one of those lovely images that really stimulates the senses, the oddness of the reflected chair in such a landscape gives it an endless appeal. The grainy mono processing adds so much atmosphere it takes it all to another level. Its very pleasing to see all the positive comments but I wish I hadn't seen riot's critique before embarking on my own because I may very well have missed the halos but now I know they are there – you know what thats like… Other than this minor blemish I think you have an outstanding image, well perceived and executed.

Excellent concept, startling. And well executed, good tones and use of grain. You have just the tiniest hint of sharpening halos along the horizontals of the chair, removing which would have brought it from a 9 to a 10 for me. One of my two favourites from this contest.
