Yes, they're about 50 years old, still have built-in ashtrays in the arm rests and everything. Found in a strip mall while I was waiting for someone to turn up for a date.

Post challenge - OK everyone, hands up, who DOESN'T want old barbershop chairs for Xmas?! They're big, comfy, funky to look at, they recline, spin around, go up and down, have arm- and foot rests! Jeez! :-)

Camera Work/Technical: Great focus and a I like the fairly deep depth of field. I also like your choice to use selective desaturation for this one, though I am not normally a selective desat fan. The red behind the headrest of the chair in the foreground is a bit distracting.
Lighting: Nicely lit. I like that the city background is a touch overexposed. It really helps to keep the eye focused on the subjects.
Composition/Content: I'd like to see the entire footrests. Chopping such a small portion of the chair off seems like more of an accident that intentional composition.
My Opinion: I took this one as more of an open challenge, so you met the challenge no matter what YOU wanted for Christmas. I like the image, but I think the composition could have been a bit better. 5.6 is a pretty strong score for the image as it is.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
