Some of the Empty Chairs

Oklahoma City National Memorial, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma USA

On April 19, 1995, American Christian terrorists bombed the Alfred P.
Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. These chairs are part of the
168 chairs symbolizing the lives lost in the bombing. The 19 chairs
smaller than the others represent the 19 children who died in the day
care center in the building.

Beautiful lighting! Nicely captured.

I think the exaggerated saturation is very effective in highlighting the repetitive shapes. You chose a good POV as well.
