Something about the lighting and/or coloration of this really reminds me of fabric -- needlework or tapestry. It's an interesting effect -- I bet this would look good printed on canvas.

colors seem undersaturated but not enough to give it an appeal

good subject for this challenge, tho I find that difficult lighting conditions during this time of day cast unwanted distracting shadows that detract from your subject bench. Good composition

This is a good photo. IMO, it seems a bit too bright to really make me feel like it is desolate.

Could use a little bump in contrast IMHO.

Secluded but the bench and surroundings are too well maintained to say desolation. Slso looks like it may be oversharpened.

Maybe if this were taken at a different time of day I would get the sense of desolation. A more dramatic point of view would also help. This scene is just peaceful to me---a nice view, dappled shade, and a nice seat. The fact that the bench is empty isn't enough to evoke a sense of desolation in me.

Sorry, but I am not convinced of Desolation.

One of many bench images in this challenge.

Comp ok, color flat, light ok, nice texture

The colours are too muted. As a result, the tone of the photo overall is a little flat.

Elegantly lonely, outlook, rich textures and muted colours. But desolate?
