[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A simple shot of an art work series using the sunset and a chair for a photo of a situation that we see every day in our lives but pay no particular attention as with many other things in life, if you don`t like it then there is nothing I can do about that but personally?? I love it regardless, enjoy.

Hello, Joao.

I've looked at this several times this morning and each time I keep coming back to it. Yes, I like it too - I like it a lot.

The colours are great and I love the reflections and light on that chair and the oblique shadows.

Interesting that you don't give a map reference but, armed with your exif data which gives the date and time of the shot, I should be able to work out by the length of the shadow what your latitude is! Am I an anorak?

Best Wishes,

John.

wonderful art and nice natural sun lighting,
very strong image with good play with shadow, dimension and highlight.
love to see the POV and DOF.
very well done.

This one is by far the best POV ever: 152 million km deep :)
Love the way you look at things, constantly challenging them, reinventing them, if you will. And you are right: we pass through things everyday without paying them the proper attention. Like your chair and its shadow. And you are also right: you shouldn´t mind much the opinion of those who reply with a simple "i like it" or "i don't like it". Sometimes, things go deeper than that.
Thank you so much for sharing this picture with the rest of us. Take care,
Nuxa

Hi Joao,
Interesting by colour and composition. The different lines give the image something 'special'. The shadowlines correspond with the back of the chair..

Simple but excellent compo, I like the golden tones and the texture of the ground and those shadows.

Hello Joao :o)
Nice composition, very goos idea ! So warm colours and excellent shadow, well done. Lovely textures too, TFS
Greetings

Salut Joao
Interesting shot for sure. Beautiful rich color but I especially like how the shadows work together, the top left corner and the one of the chair with the same tone. Hard for me to explain precisely.
Good shot

Great idea, great title. Good light and saturation here - I think the diagonal shadow across the top-left corner is a nice detail.

A shame perhaps about the OE on the right edge of the chair, but it's a minor detail. Somehow this reminds me of a lunar landscape, so your title's reference to celestial bodies is fitting.
