I prefer the starkness off the B&W version.

Brilliant thinking and shot of the chair David - lovely colour and detail but the simplicity tops all else. I like all the ornate metalwork of the second too but #1 rules for me.

Oh yes it's the chair shot for me too, yes the hotel image is clearly on theme with good composition, but the chair image has super focus mate, and damn what an odd idea

... Thanks all so much for liking my chair. Yes it is an ordinary (ish) chair, in the road. The white lines are not the middle but where cars park. I intended cloning them out but decided to leave them, don't know why! It's one of a set of "Van Gogh" we bought from Habitat in the '90s. Never photographed them before, well you don't do you! After studying van Gogh's perspective I took it outside and took a few shots with my 85mm f/1.8 this at f/2.8. Back home I realised the chair's facing the wrong way so flipped it which created a wonky illusion I liked.

Both images speak to me in different ways. My first thought of seeing the chair was, "I would be uncomfortable sitting there, in the middle of the road." The chair stands out from the road and has great color and detail. The second image tells a story of weary travellers looking for comfort (a good meal and a comfortable bed) after a long journey.

Hi, Comfort, a little leftfield but I do like Van Gogh.
POV is slightly off compared to Mr G's
Cheers.
nice bit of resurfacing. just so weird! my caption for the second image is: "Comfort Inn, can't be much further, they said it was around here somewhere"

Thanks Mark ... in the road? ... I think it would make a pretty uninteresting photo shot in my modest little abode, I wanted a solid contrasting OOF BG. I wanted to use my 85mm prime and you need space.
Cheers Tim ... near middle, a newly resurfaced quiet resi street, the white lines mark the resi parking space.
Loving the chair shot David. And you call me weird

Minimalistic as you say David but spot on theme - very fine detail.

Very nice shot David, and on theme. Like the darkness at the bottom and how it gets lighter and sharp on top
Nice one d00d ....works really well for the theme
Yep very minimalistic, and bang on theme David
Like that, very simple and very apt for the theme.
Thanks all
This is genuine animal fur [I think] , a lady's stole thingy. Taken on the w/e but not posted till yesterday, as I wasn't sure about it!
I fixed it to open internal window shutters so the camera was pointing through the glass [about 2 foot away from the subject] at a clear blue sky.
I then flipped it vertically to give the landscape feel.
Hi Nick @nickbee ... Thanks for the advise but it may be my dirty window. I'll check out my sensor tho.
