 Two farmers relax and enjoy each other's company on a Sunday afternoon. My husband had just got up from the third chair, and I was able to get this picture.

Lightened exposure a little, increased exposure, cropped.

This is a great candid! It seems like a very friendly conversation going on. Would love to know what they are talking about.

I like the comedy in this photograph with these two "unlikely friends" i would have moved in a bit closer though to put more emphasis on them.

while the concept is good, I find too much distractions in the photo as everything is in focus and the post set in the center takes from the subjects, perhaps to have more distance between your subjects and the cars or a lower angle to focus more on the subjects.

I give this score high marks because it is just so perfect for this contest and it is quite telling.

What an intersting mix of characters. The light on the side of the white man's face is a bit harsh, and the background is awful (lol - not much you could do about that), but it illustrates the concept very well.

Nice catch of two very different-looking people, although their body language says one is clearly more relaxed than the other. I can't decide if the empty chair feels inviting or not ... it's very close to the tenser guy ... guess I feel like I'd need to ask permission before sitting down.

It's a good snapshot.

Is the third chair the Welcoming Chair? Is the viewer supposed to be the person being welcomed? The person on the right is looking at the viewer and giving a welcoming smile, but the person on the left seems to be looking off into the distance. He has not even looked up to greet the arriving viewer. I'm confused.
