Thank you Matt, Sharon, and Olaf. Agree with you about the oof area, it is distracting a bit. Will play with all your suggestions and see what happens. Again, thank you for the comments and suggestions --- aam1234

OK, I'll join in for a third cropping suggestion: take off a sliver on the left, but don't take away the whole of the first bench. Instead, just enough to crop out the front-most "side column" of the front-most bench. Or maybe just the light sliver of stucco wall/column on the left. I think that is what is drawing Matt's eye the wrong way. I don't agree on cropping off the background greenery - it is nice to see and end to the repetition - an opening, if you will. I think that "opening" helps me (the viewer) interpret the scene better. It is left up to the viewer to imagine where the pattern starts and having the image begin with a bench, or part of one, somehow makes it seem like there are many more before that one...

That's funny, I was going to suggest a vertical crop on the right to remove the distracting background and make the image almost totally abstract. The out of focus chair doesn't bother me. ~Sharon

This is a nice use of pattern and light. Are those the backs of chairs? I find the out of focus one on the left a bit distracting. My eye is drawn to it, because it's also the most brightly lit. What would this shot be like cropped vertically, with the one on the left cropped out?
