The Illuminated Chair

I don't think I managed to get this one before I lost access to the forum so here it is...


The Illuminated Chair by Nigel Hayes, on Flickr

Chichester Cathedral just below the choir...

Re: The Illuminated Chair

A very interesting composition with nice lighting and a spiral staircase adding some "where does it lead" intrigue

... and a 'welcome back" from me too

Cheers,
John

Re: The Illuminated Chair

Great shot Sid. I really like the front chair sat on the floor light. What bothers me, and my OCD are the two chairs behind. In my opinion it would work better if it was just the one lone chair

Re: The Illuminated Chair

very nice composition but agree about the two other chairs

Re: The Illuminated Chair

What a lovely image, Nigel, you have used the light to great effect, and the spiral staircase, which is slightly incongruous against the carved stone, adds to the interest and fits the image beautifully.
Good to have you back with us.

Re: The Illuminated Chair

Thanks all for your thoughts and welcome.

I do tend to agree regarding the two chairs. Unfortunately the wardens don't approve of having the furniture rearranged so i was stuck with it.

Was tempted to attack them with the clone tool but chickened out....

Re: The Illuminated Chair

An intriguing composition with much to sustain the interest.

Good to know I'm not alone with my OCD..............think it would be better without the other 2 chairs!

I did try but there weren't enough suitable clone sources to prevent repetitive patterns showing up very quickly...

Re: The Illuminated Chair

I don't think the one chair by itself would work quite as well as folks think. The reason being is it is bottom lit, not top lit. If it was top lit and became a central theme in the image I would agree. The bottom lighting doesn't really make the chair a critical part of the image. The chair's location in the image does that.

Hmm, never looked at it like that. Maybe my instincts are smarter than I am....

Thanks for your thoughts.

I hope you will forgive me but as I lay here off work recovering from surgery with time on my hands, I couldn't resist having a fiddle.

This, I hope, will answer the 'one chair, three chairs' question!
