Joanna,
I like the BG, too, as well as the overall comp, though I think cropping off some of the bottom (but leaving the bench edge in frame) wouldn't hurt. Looks sharp.:D (couldn't resist, sorry)
I'm guessing people look carefully before sitting on this bench!
:)
I like this too. The orange color is great, and it's picked up by some plant material (?) scattered on the bench.... I agree about cropping up from the bottom.
