First B&W for Critique

I really like this. It makes me wonder who sat in these chairs and why they were left to the elements. Can you tell us anything about the location where you took this?
 
The conversion and the basic exposure and focus are fine.
The horizon is considerably off, but not for any artistic reason, and, because the shadow is cut so close at the bottom and the chair jammed against the left margin, the feeling of isolation is mostly lost.

The title tells the viewer what you want us to feel but the technical defects hurt a lot.

Thanks for the replies.
I think I'll go re-shoot this one since it's only 50' away. lol

The chairs are some old chairs on my my family property that we used to sit on as kids. Haven't been here in ages and thought they looked neat.

I may have to wait until the sun is lighting them directly tomorrow. With the soft light it just doesn't look right to me.
The first one is framed a little more to the left and the second is more from behind. As for the horizon, this is as level as my eye could see it. lol
