The Red Chair

RELOADED for Vidu.

While walking in the early morning today to avoid the searing temperatures...my eye fell upon this red chair. I am always perplexed by people who toss aside anything functional...especailly something like this red chair...what character it has, sturdy and strong....boldly stating...I am the red chair. The shadow forms captivated me and of course...I had to bring it home with me...if only in these images.

    Outstanding colour and clarity, some images are meant to be admired and envied.
    This is one of them.

    this is a very moving image. I believe that the shape of a good chair should look like the back of a woman and you have captured it here in the stark shadow. I can see why vidu was very fond of this...it is graceful yet strong. Nice job.

    nice still life. i'd like to see this one with some of the contrast toned down and a wider range of values.
