 I set this up in my room using my bed sheets and a desk lamp. Focus was hard because of the low lighting and my lack of tripod... plus my room is pretty small and has alot of shit piled everywhere so I had to be creative in the cropping in order to keep all my stuff out of the picture. The focus is off and it's a bit blurry but I wanted to submit it for some reason...
I found the chair in the trash pile by my house a few weeks ago and thought it was pretty cool- turns out it had termites but bug spray fixed that and now it's a perfectly good prop.
Editing: crop, curves, unsharp mask.

Enjoyed the composition, but the creases on the floor tend to draw my eye away from the subject.

Good effort. Think I'd have used a reflector to bounce just a bit of light onto right side becuase shadows are so deep there.

I like the mystery. The issues with the picture are camera shake/lack of focus, the backdrop(love the color/hate the wrinkles) and a lack of definition for the shape of the box. Just a little bounced light to define it from the chair would be nice.
