Square frame and abstract - another sure fire winner on DPC!
I took a shot of a wrought iron chair standing on gravel outside the restaurant of The Vyne country house. I liked the shape and proportions and the simplicity of the image. I then cropped the image to balance to ROT and also ensured that the chair back was open - i.e. no fixed hard line from the brace at the foot of the back. I then made the pebble/gravel backgroung more abstract by boosting the colour and driving up the contrast.

* crop
* levels

Good idea and interesting subject. It's almost abstract. The only thing holding this back for me is the composition (well, and the size - I recommend always using the full 640 on a side). I think it would be more dynamic and meet the challenge more strongly in a landscape crop with the clover shape centered on the top left thirds line intersection.
