I was at a friend's house yesterday. They have a red chair placed under a sky light. I'd been looking at it every time I visited them Finally the light seemed right and I saw this photograph. Comments welcome

Nice! Very nice!
Hey, Shel, did you have to photoshop it at all to get the jet-black background, or was it "naturally" like that? Either way, very effective.
I love the bit of floor in the corner, to sort of "anchor" the chair to something, give it a point of reference so it's not like it's floating.
And, I ~really~ like the shirt/jacket/whatever carelessly slung over the chair. It makes it ~someone's~ chair, not just ~a~ chair. It's waiting for its owner, like a dog. It's waiting to fulfill its desitiny (sorry if that sounds overblown, but it's what comes to mind right now).
And, of course, the red. The red makes it, doesn't it? I have to say, though, while I was waiting for the page to load, I was thinking it would have been funny if you called it The Red Chair, and it turned out to be a b&w photo, but that was just me being perverse! <LOL>. This could be nothing other than colour, to be sure.
Great one, Shel. And, not taken on a street, with no homeless people in sight! <vbg>
cheers, frank
