** Greetings from the Critique Club **

This is actually quite an interesting photo. Although the placement in the challenge is low, the score received is actually pretty decent.

Composition
The major issues with this photo is in the composition. As a challenge geared for the subject of chairs, the chair is very hard to see and the focal point is somewhat lost. The use of the fisheye lens was a good choice because it made the buildings hover over the chair; this actually helps to draw the focal point to the chair.

Technical
As I mentioned previously, the chair is very hard to see. No doubt, this is a result of a scene with a very wide contrast range. In these cases, it is often quite helpful to follow the sunny-16 rule. Or, meter off the blue sky. This will help maximize the bright regions to the right of the histogram while the shadows will be better exposed. Further, the use of an on camera flash would fill the dark region in very nicely.

Well, the chair seems secondary to the composition at hand, but this is a terrific capture.

I love the warped perspective which makes the buildings loom in over the poor insignificant little chair. It's no wonder that chair is vacant. It doesn't look like a very friendly environment. Well captured.

A nice find. Wish the lighting was more on your subject rather than the sky.
