Well caught and well composed.

Kind of unsettling. The bright light and orientation are both a bit of a surprise here. To good effect, though, I think. Great textures all around.

i think the picture could have used some better lighting. Maybe taken at a different time of day.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy):

Positives: Great colours and texture and a very interesting orientation of the subject. I find it rather disorientating (I mean that in a good way) - not only am I not sure how the chair is lying or the orientation of the surface, I feel that my POV is ambiguous. This makes for quite an unsettling but engaging image. This disorientation draws me in, makes it more real for me.

Critical stuff: The close crop to the top of the chair at the bottom of the image seems too close - clearly this has been your choice but I'm not sure it works for me.

Overall: an interesting image which benefits greatly from the colours and textures you have managed to capture so effectively.
