Chair & table

I spotted this scene on one of our walks. I liked the simplicity of it. C&C most welcome.

Nice done and well spotted but I think it would be better, if all the table, chair and legs were in your image.

That was also my first thought; a bit on the tight side all round. An interesting idea though.

I agree with the comments above Ole , nice but a bit on the tight side

[Mike Buckley]

I like the jug so much that I would attend to the composition issues being discussed by cropping at the bottom well above the floor and cropping at the right side about in the middle of the chair.

Here is my edited picture. Have also changed it slightly.

It's amazing to see the wonderful effect of allowing just that small amount of breathing room around the subjects.

This is, to me, a classic example of the strength of monochrome in presenting form and texture, and you have composed the image well to place the two elements within the power points of the image as a whole. The second version of the image has definitely improved the result.

I can't see the first image anymore, I don't know why But your second edit certainly looks better as far as I remember the first image Ole

It's no longer on Flickr, probably replaced with the edit.

Hi Ole,

a well balanced composition, IMO let down by overexposure, losing a fair bit of detail.

[Geoff F]

I think there was a bit more fine detail in the original image.

I really like this image; my request is to restore the previous image as such because there has been discussion upon it.

Isn't the internet a diabolical thing. I can see both images so why can't everyone?????

This is an excellent image for B&W because to me the subjects seem to be from an older pre colour photography time. Great textures and setting. Although I like the lighter tones in the second shot it seems to me that part of the chair back is now over exposed and has lost a little detail.

It's great to play around with colours in shots like this to see how it changes the brightness of the shades in the mono image.

Me think you be right.
