First off Congrats on the Featured Photo.

For me I really enjoy the mystery that could of been said about the place.
If only them old walls could talk about the old times.
I also agree about the chair being a distraction; However it does work to a degree, and I will try to explain it.
the back of the chair is blown out a little bit, but the dark blue tends to break apart from the old well wall.
The banister rails to me leans toward the early Victorian style, and that the original owner had great taste and money back in the day.
I only wished there was a little more detail in the post of the banister.
as far as the litter goes it only shows how little the new owner cares about the place.
All in all I like it.

Agreed the modifications do improve the image. When I saw this, though, the title "Faded Memory" grated on me a little. Not that it is inaccurate, and I really appreciate where you are coming from, but for me "Faded Memories" is much more appropriate. This image conjures not only one faded memory but potentially many. My apologies for the bit of rambling but I am realizing, as I decided to post, how important a Title can be. Because when I see this image I see the Faded Memory sitting amongst many Faded Memories.

OK - so with that out of the way :blush2: definitely the color version. Those blues make the initial impact but, as in a good image, other things come into play once the initial impact has been digested and one's eye wanders around the image.

So much to see here! I can take many areas of the image and relate them to - well - whatever. Books, movies, personal memories etc. But there are so many Faded Memories in that shot it is truly wonderful.
