Based on a photograph by Keith Collie - from his "chairs" series.
I first saw Collie's shot in a photography book, in the chapter of capturing form. In the book, the shot is a low key shot, which I tried to emulate. The web picture is not so dark.
See original here: http://keithcollie.com/kc/chairs/
Pretty good copy - as you say you could have lightened it a bit and the jacket was hanging on the back of the chair so beautifully - a suit jacket I think. Thanks for the link to this photographer!
Thanks for putting up the link - I liked his geometry folder - and the loo in the "chair section" LOL!. You've got a great idea - trying to achieve a similar concept to one you like from his portfolio.
@maggiemae Thanks, Maggie...I wasn't really trying to copy the original , but rrather get a sense of it.. I appreciate that you were interested enough to check out the original...although when I first saw it in print, it was much darker.
@yrhenwr Wow, David, thank you! Saying my shot has more character than the original Collie shot is just putting this incredible smile on my face as my head expands a bit!!!
And again - Thank you for entering the eotb challenge. Good luck!
