    There are a lot of good lines and textures, here. The darker browns in the background and lighter grays in the foreground combine to give the image a nice sense of depth. The distressed look is certainly consistent with the subject.

    Fabulous moody feel to this. It looks authentic! I would consider making the horizontal pale bar on the upper part of the door darker so it is not so visually prominent.

    yes to the above. My immediate thought though was to perhaps lighten the chair a tad since the title of the photo refers to it.

    Great processing Kerry, it has a very authentic feel to it. Hazel makes a good suggestion about the chair. Great texture work and choice of colours.

    Thanks everyone! I did forget to mention the Flypaper texture, thanks Jackie.

    I like the lines and textures. I agree with Hazel's suggestion of accentuating the chair.

    I like this very much. Beautiful textures and reflections. The colors are perfect. The seeming frame inside the image is just right-subtle and effective. Wonderful variety of shapes.
