Can I have your talent too ;)

Good idea for a prop, Mel. You can place it before the camera or behind it… I like how the chair seems right side up in reflection as opposed to the light pole.
Funny, Tots wants the texture, I’d settle for the sin…

Well, at least you will always have a place to sit down! Great work Mel and a fantastic example to show your students a thing or two! Love the reflections of the chair and lamp post in particular.

I have been sitting here trying to figure out why I like this so much. And then I figured… why do I need a reason? I just like it! :)
Nicole Goggins
love this texture – great colours/tones too (as usual)... really interesting shot, i would have totally walked past this or just picked the chair up… great eye!
David Stuart
Only you could make the ordinary look so damn interesting.
Birgitta
I like it. :) I like the hues especially..the jade greens & blues here
are lovely. (And I like that you didn’t texture it to death like other works I’ve seen here at RB, including my own sometimes.) Just hints of them here and there. Nice. :)
susi lawson
I bet the students love you, this is excellent!
