 There was a coffee house down the street that stayed open a total of maybe 4 months, with a month hiatus in the middle or something. She remodeled the building, providing the stucco background. They had a big going out of business auction, and this was left over (wonder why?) and is still sitting outside the building.

Like your composition on this one. Nice use of rule of thirds. Like your contrasting colors. But I am not sure about the amount of contrast/sharpening in the shot. Looks like a little less would have really made this one pop.

this is so my sort of thing - fantastic stuff, really. i'm also thrilled that you resisted the what must have been big temptation to do the derelict = black and white equation; the colours here are stunning and the wall in terms of texture and colour makes for a superb background. i like the delicate burning around the edge (done subtly enough to look it was only naturally enhanced). the level of noise or the possible result of oversharpening on the chair is one minor complaint - especially with the arm on the left, and i kind of wish that the bits of weeds weren't there. but i guess that was mostly unavoidable. 9/10

Nice image, but it looks over-sharpened to me.

is it an old shaving/barber chair? In miniature? I love your colors. And I like that wall, but I'm thinking it might be a little too noisy/distracting..? Just my ... 2 bits ;-)
