No longer a newbie, moving up!
A couple of other things in the chair photo. The right corner has a dark object stuck there. Get rid of that. We cannot tell what it is, it is not needed it is a distraction. In general be careful of very dark or extermemely bright subjects. Our eyes are drawn to them. The black on the other corner is okay, because it gives a bit of depth to the post and it does not matter that we cannot see its details.
Next, notice how the very top of the chair back hits up against the post in the background. Often when foreground objects touch background objects, depth is lost. It is a subtle thing, but true. We know the post is not actually touching the chair, but it is in the photo. Just leave a little space, and like magic the post stays in the background. It is the same with the line touching the chair. Just moving the camera angle ever so slightly to either left or right or up and down can help in the separations.
