 Mmm, had such a bad year photo wise, really not motivated and I can't put my finger on the reasons why. I bought a new camera (7D) and two new lenses but I still stuggle to find my mojo.

Not much done to it apart from the usual usm, resize and some HDR work.
The Free Studies are hard and I know that the best of are even harder so not expecting anything much.

Hi Mike,
First of all, good shot and nice processing. I remember during voting I scrolled the screen up to hide the shop fronts and just leave the bench in view.

Reading in your comments about your 'mojo' I wondered if you were a member of a local camera club. I am and there are some people there who would suggest making a whole series of pictures about that wavy seat in your picture. For instance, one-a-week showing different styles, techniques and perspectives; and/or the changing seasons, weather and the different types people who make use of it. But that's camera clubs for you!

Cheers
David

if it was cropped right at the end of the bench, would look great

I really like the artistry of this. I can see it hanging on a wall in a contermporary setting.
