I should have known that this was you JJ. Love the simplicity of subject and tonality of this shot. You have my vote for underrated shot of the challenge!

Yours

While I like all the elements of the picture, (the subject, the arrangement, the textures, the monochrome treatment), here is what I think detracts from the whole. If you draw a line down the center, top to bottom, the right half has no real interest. It is just a continuation of elements from the left, and doesn't "become" a negative space. Having all the interest of the subject weighted to the left usually effects one's subconscious as darker, or awry, or discordant. A mental diconnect. This effect does not seem appropriate to the subject, and to my eye, detracts from the overall effectiveness of the picture. A different cropping might make all the difference.

like this is BW and my only nit would have been a slight change in your POV to your right and losing the bit of shadow on the upper left corner.

very nice tones - the layering works very well to make each ordinarily bland texture stand out

Lovely idea ... textures are strong.... however, I think it would be better with chair on a less busy background. (It doesn't stand out enough).

begs for color to make it interesting, the background, the chair, and the bread are nearly the same in color and texture

Wonderful textures and great toning.

Wow, this is great... definately a mundane subject that pops right off my screen! The subtle differences in texture between the floor, chair, and bread is what makes this an excellent photo IMO.

I'd feel a little worried to eat bread that was placed on something someone just had their behind on. Sorry. Very unattractive. If the picture had been taken from a closer pov, I probably wouldn't have known what it was actually on.

Good shot - I like the framing of the chair. Works great in b&w.

The texture and contrast is excellent, but I find the framing a bit far to the left.
