Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are "wow - what a chair"!

Technically this is ok, there's not much to fault it on other than it being a bit flat.

Artistically it's good, the person a good touch to give us a sense of scale and not have us think it's a model or diorama. POV is not the best but I doubt you had a ladder tall enough to do much about that :)

In summary it's a quirky shot that meets the challenge and has an initial "wow" but after that we are left with a feeling of "it's just a big chair". It's a shame the sky wasn't cooperating with you that day.

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.
Gerry

This would be great in the perspective challenge. The tones look a bit flat but overall I like this. 6
