I really like the affect with this one, very simple, yet tells a story. I'd be interested to compare a B&W version, you'd lose the lovely red, but I like to look at weathered / neglected things in a more monochromatic light.

I'm not sure of the cropping here.
I also think that a B&W conversion could be interesting.

No crop on this one - thats the full image
How would you have framed/composed it?
Thanks for any advice
Have to revisit the image tonight with CS2 I think

I agree with Trevor re the crop/framing. To answer your question Pharmer, the problem is that you have one support visible and we know something like this needs at least 2 so we notice it's absence. Ideally you'd have the whole bench, but at the very least show both supports.

What Peter said.
Either both sets of legs, or none.
But probably the whole bench, or an even closer crop, to get more detail from even less of the bench's slats.
As this is, it's somewhere between all of those points, and I think it suffers as a result.
