Chaise Noire

You've heard of the Chaise Longue? Well, this would be the Chaise Noire... taken in a patch of sun and noir-ified in nik silver efex...

An architecture shot in my other album:

Yay for noir, thought about cropping through the middle? I know you didn't ask, but i'm gonna say it anyway :)

[☠northy]

@jase_h hmmm... I didn't actually... It would be square and I tend to avoid square crops unless there is no other way... And then I've been thinking of blackness a lot (since Jani keeps suggesting it ;p). If anything, I was tempted to put the chair and light right in the bottom left corner and left the rest black - but I wanted the shadow and the crack in the floor... Always happy to get constructive suggestions... I don't put it in the write-up most of the time because I'm afraid it sounds so needy ;0

[Jase]

Cool, didn't mean square, half way along the bottom edge, where the black starts, but maybe that's my portrait obsession :)

Fab shot ... I like the processing :)

[Johanna]

Very Noir, indeed. Love that you left so much of black in the shot, works so well to create the mood. I'm seeing so many amazing b&w's these days that I can't wait to start my free Silver Efex trial. Decided I'd give it a go during winter vacation week.

[Katia]
