Love this! I can imagine this as aLarge print, Pushing the fine grain grain of the KX-film. The lighting and compositoin is awsum. good job J.K .
Mark German
Very nice shot.
The central composition works very well with the glow from the windows, placing the chair at center stage.

I’m anything but a guru in photography but I love this. Hey, is it a reflection or a quirk that it looks like a person’s face in the bottom left of the middle window?
Michael Douglass
Works well, love the light. Very nice shot.
rippedangelwings
Nice scenery, good lighting! Nice shot!
Belinda Leopold
Simple but very effective-great light.
trickyruby
great location, love the way the light is coming through the windows
Daniel Rarela
AMAZING photo… it really tells a story, although what story it’s actually telling is very open to interpretation. Maybe the aftermath of a natural disaster? Nice work!
Laura Marsh
Like the textures and lighting, very nice!

The upheavel in this room is so poetic it evokes emotion. The haze on the windows add just the right amount of light through to cast perfect shadows and contrasts. Great eye.
Kudos darling Kudos!!
Craig Schroeder
...What Aphrodite said about the upheaval. DId you ever move out of a place you’ve lived in for a long time and, when everything’s gone, just sit there for a while and absorb? I get that feeling here.
Cliff Vestergaard
This great as well I would love to use this.

and in Prosperity, u couldn’t make it up.
Sean Farragher
fantastic image
jsjones
This is a great composition, J.K. Really fantastic. I love that this was in Prosperity. Just priceless.
One of the things I’m learning from this is to hold back on the focus. I think this shot works so well for me because of the sense of openness you get in the room. It’s empty. Fitting. If I’d been in that room, I probably would’ve been tempted to tighten in on the spacial field of the windows and chair. But that would’ve lost the effect.
This is a great one to study! Very nicely done.
Janson.

thanks for the props my friend. this was even cropped from the original. it was taken during my super wide angle phase when i rarely shot with anything but a 21mm.

Aimelle
I like the soft tones and light here… interesting composition ! I like how expressive that is !
paulywog
This is a sad, emotional shot.
If a man’s house is his castle, than the king has been dethroned, and the castle abandoned!
Anyway, that’s my take on it.
Cool shot.
wendyL
amazing shot! perfect B@W!!!!!!!!
clickinhistory
just shows how fast today becomes a fleeting view into a past world, with the questions of who lived here, what happened to them, why was this chair left… lovely work

Like your use of irony too. “Room with a View” in Prosperity, SC.

Great tones and lighting..well executed for probably quite a contrasty scene.

JenicaBelle
This is a fantastic piece! I love the aspect of being left behind, but with the fresh light coming through the room is like stating a new found beginning for the chair or the final curtain highlighting it’s victim…..great work Mr. York.
