it's funny that that's how you interpreted it, 'cause this is an empty lot in an industrial district and the building in the backround is some kind of warehouse or factory. but that's not the point. the point is not to beat my ideas over the viewer's head so much that they can't interpret the image in their own way, so the fact that you found somwthing in it that i hadn't though of means i'm being successful.
i was kind of thinking of it as, no matter what we do to it, nature is sneaky and it will always find some way to thrive over the petty crap that humans come up with.
i think that's we kind of came up with the same basic idea, just from different angles.
gaa! get out of my head!

This image seems to show the intrusion of the interior, artificial and human related, into the exterior, nature. The 'object' wasn't really meant to be there and indeed it doesn't stands the agressiveness of the environment. The house in the background reminds us of the provenance of the intruder, the walls, windows, roof act as a frontier between two worlds, so this is a perfect stranger portrait. I like how there are subtle colour matches between the chair and some flowers around and what seems a caravan in the background. The rusty colour border was a good idea too.
Well done!

The peice of wood sitting on the chair gives it a feel that the picture has been set up. Cool picture but if its still there, move that peice of wood.

hmmm. i think it's a rusty strip of metal. that's actually how i found it. i usually don't try to set up scenes at all because they always end up looking contrived and missing the point i'm going for.
but i see your point. if the subject is the chair, the metal bar does kind of distract from the rest of the composition.
hey. wha'd'you think about the color-matching the borders to the photo. i'm still not sure i like the affect yet. but they're different than other pictures that just have a big black blob of black around them, mostly obsturing the image. i think if i added a thin black line between the color and the image it would maybe be bettter.
