Chairs in the Sun
Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 14mm f2.5
It was a sunny, warm day with a very high contrast light at that location, and I thought there was a picture in here somewhere. I played with different crops to create an abstract, but I'm not sure if it works. What do you think?

When I first viewed the image I really liked it, but after viewing it more closely, I kind of get distracted, by too many lines. Just me maybe.

Story behind this one: It was on the day of the Blue Angels airshow. We met Dan, Lea, and Tyler at the Peace Plaza in Japantown. As we walked through the plaza, there were rows of chairs set up for a concert. It was a sunny, crisp day, and I was struck by the bright light contrasted by the dark chairs and the shadows under the chairs. I would consider this a "warm up"' shot, like I described a while back.
When I was reviewing my shots, I tried various crops and was never really satisfied with any of them, and I also considered leaving it in color vs. doing a B&W conversion.
Anyway, I thought I'd post it here to try and stimulate some discussion. It's okay to say that it didn't work for you (any of you) :).

I think it's great in b&w. The ambiguity between the shadows and chair legs works well... Maybe raising the camera a little higher would have made it a little more dynamic... I'm picturing myself also rotating the camera 45 degrees ccw, closer, and higher..
Hopefully that was constructive.. ?... D:
