Thanks everyone!

35mm4me - the trim was sort of a dark green.

Heres my $0.02:

I absolutely love what this image is trying to do...but there a few things that are eating away at me!! Personally...I am not a fan of the color..but that's small potatoes. The thing that jumps out at me is the perspective!! The shot is not straight on.....it looks a little to the right. I like the comp, DOF, and the potential for a great BandW image....so besides that small thing..I love it.


And the tilt!!!! Look at the level of the porch....tilted a bit!

Oddly enough, the train platform in the foreground actually is tilted (look at the post underneath and the side of the metal cabinet). This was taken almost straight on, at least close enough not to have noticeable convergence because of it. The door looks pretty straight, as it was, and I'm convinced not much else actually was. Having said that, the lines and angles still bother me a bit, too. Sometimes a scene just has some tilted lines and non-right-angles and you just can't overcome that, and it may be true here. Oh well. I have a lot of other chair images and this one may not make the cut.
