    If only it could talk.

    I shot this today. My friend and I were driving around and just totally found this by luck. Just this random pink, beat up looking sofa thing, hanging out next to this white fence. I am going to go back soon though and re-shoot this location with a subject. Anyhoo, tell me what you think. =)

    An interesting photo, but the right side of the chair is cut off and maybe it's me, but the fence seems a little too bright. Perhaps closing the aperture down an f stop or two? I love the concept though.

    Oh, I don't know. This is hardly a "normal" subject, So maybe it needs the brighter fence. I would have liked to have had the right side in the shot as well. But I like how it's composed. I just can't decide for or against the grass. Not like you could do much about that but still a fun shot!

    Talk about random abstract! Well done, though i find the wall a tad white. Also, if the whole chair was in the frame, it would work much better IMO. Regardless, an interesting picture and a good eye for subject matter.

    That fence looks so harsh that it looks like it could work well in b&w. I like it!

    Re: If only it could talk.

    Agree with the general consensus on the fence and the right hand crop. I find the grass to be too dark in comparison to the bright tones found elsewhere in the shot. I like it and you have done really well to spot this at all!! I fear that if this couch could talk it would be a sorry tale of abuse and ultimate abandonement!
