Great composition. Love the overall tone

What a beautiful image. I love the curves, gold and copper tones, and the yin/yang composition.

P.S. I just read your notes, and was very surprised to learn the bench is at a playground. It is so lovely that I thought it must be in a museum garden.

I like the composition, but the "rays" look much like an effect to me, and a bit unnatural.

I so want to love this but something is off... A bit flat? Too yellow? Not sure, but great shapes.

It's so nice to see lens flare add to an image. Beautiful shapes, colors, and textures.

Brilliant example of an OOB bench. Well conceived, captured and presented. Leading lines are terrific.

What a lovely bench! It almost appears to be floating in the light.

I like the subject, I think I'd like it more with a little more contrast.
