Description
These days are gonequiet evenings being wrecked in her eyes
tears on the floor of an empty room
joy for that red kite against the sky
weβre so much older now
here we leave our shadows
delicate like wings of glass
be sure someone will envy us
for the time we managed to deserve
tomorrow would never had come
and now itβs today.
so my friend rest now
close your case
just your hand.
And sing with me.

Great shot...I think that it's very simple and minimalistic (I hope that u understand my english) but it really transmit a lot of feelings... cold, lonelyness, even angry.... I like the colors and the frame, because they are not so clean as the image inself is and that contrast make the photo stronger. The beer or soda that is there, at the right side, make the shairs look more alone... I think that they are waiting for someone to sit on them... It's very hard for me to write all my feelings (the english is not my first language) but I hope that u understand what I wrote here.

"very simple and nice concept.
im here to congratulate on your first place in this contest.
your photograph tells a lot of things to me. firstly i have to say that sometimes less is more and i feel absolutely the same looking at this picture.
i donno whether you really shot that pic on film or not but the effect (or not) is quite impressive and it gives a nice atmosphere for the concept.
keep doing it
see you."

Congratulations of your first place, after seeing the other amazing photos this one evokes the strongest emotion within me.
Although you submitted this photo under "conceptual," I think there are many other choices that could have been made. This to me, almost seems like a portrait, not of people but of two lonely chairs. It's an abstract idea, but the emotions really brought out in this exposure match it. This piece shows some amazing thought, and genius in finding the right spot for this awesome photo. The placement of the camera, as well as it's angle and perspective, is very nice, this creativity adds so much. The noise also, is very well done, showing great skill with your camera.(which is what by the way
This is a really nice photo, but I think that you could have done more with it. The can sticks out to me, and not in the best way. I think that it either has to go, or changed about in some different way, rotate it to see the brand, or change it's position. Ack, it's difficult imagining what it would be like with out it
Overall, it's a wonderful piece of art, that's obviously been thought out. Great job with it man, you've done it well!

Very nice composition. The can on the right side really sticks out, and I like that. I was thinking about suggesting brightening up the picture a little, but having the shadows sort of keeps you guessing. I'm digging the grain, and the blurred shadows go very nicely. Overall this is a very excellent photograph. The description adds a lot to the photo, and makes it much more expressive. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into creating this image, it has done you well.
Congratulations on first place!!

I'm intrigued to know where this picture was taken, and whose cold and angry mind designed such chairs. You can sit here, they say, but you can't be comfortable. You can't rest or sleep or be with anybody.
They're isolated, bleak and bolted-down, like the municipal mentality that commissioned them, that seems to be saying we don't want you, we don't trust you, we don't welcome you, we begrudge you the smallest of comforts.
The abandoned beer can is an eloquent, if melancholic statement, emphasising all that this city planner holds in contempt - you're a bum and a drunk, and there's no place for you even here, in the dreariest and coldest and emptiest place in the city.
Looking at this picture, I can almost see him, growing old, alone, homeless, draining the dregs of comfort from the last of his beer, before trudging on, denied even the meanest of beds for the night when that town hall committee decreed there'd be no benches here.
I know this critique is meant to be about the photograph, but I'm surprised that the artist has added to it such romantic lines. I see no songs, no delicacy, no wistfulness here, no sustaining memories of a wonderful love. I see an image that speaks of the absence of love, and the unfeeling nature of urban life.
In that context it's a powerful if depressing image. The absence of colour, the irritating scratchiness of the dark edges that intrude into the frame to the top and bottom right, the flatness of the light, the bareness of the wall behind, all deliver the same relentless message - that there's lies a coldness at the heart of the city. The backs of the chairs are like the barred windows of prison cells. Even the perspective of the chairs, appearing as they do to face away from each other, reflects isolation and disengagement.
No, it's not a pretty image, nor to my mind an uplifting image. But it is an effective one, and a powerful condemnation of municipal insensitivity.

Congratulations! Nice shot! Great composition. I really like the stillness and 'nothing-ness' and how the can sort of represents those who have come and gone. Interesting shadows and like many have mentioned, I like the grainy effect
