Helen, the chairs really add to the wide angle effect here. Nice and clear, well composed, nice shot! MFC

Thanks, Denise, Frank and Jerry! And Jerry, that was a good suggestion. I would have preferred to work from the original, but since I don't have it with me in Istanbul, the downloaded version will have to do.

I like this shot, Helen. Very nicely seen and composed. I love the pattern the foreground chairs make.
About all I would do differently in this one is maybe crop the bottom part of the chairs in the back row - leaving just the backs.

Really great! Certainly the composition is what I love. The emptyness leaves a lot room for interpretation. This is really a hige number of chairs! No heating thoough. I wonder what is going to happen when it starts raining that day ... (do not wish so).

Helen, this is a most powerful image. Very nicely done.
