Lovely. Would have liked for the leg to not have been cropped. ~ Lonnit

Wonderful rich red color - Love the touch of the fire in the background. This seems a little tilted to me?? jano

Thanks Maurice and Debi. This chair design actually goes back to 1929 when it was designed for a Pavilian in the Barcelona World Expo Maurice. They have been popular since, but I think they were especially popular back in the 70's as you are remembering.

Thanks Tommy, I just shot it RAW and adjusted the slider to where I think the WB looked real- the camera actually guessed pretty close.

Lovely rendition of the chair in the warm glow of firelight. I wonder what was the wb setting? -tv

Thanks Aam and Rod :-) It was kind of fun playing with the outdoor light as the sun was setting and varying the translucent blinds to get nice shadows. And of course the puppies kept wandering into the frame and looked kind of cute in the background- but I expect everyone has seen plenty of them for a while ;-)

The shadings on the back of the chair look really good. Nice shot mate.
