Love the composition. I'll take the second seat from the right, please.

Beautiful composition. nice shot!
Good week end!

Woody said...

A fine composition. Great repetition. The monochrome and the lack of occupants gives the feeling it's cold.

James Mark said...

I agree; the deckchairs and the feeling of loneliness reminds of a Hopper painting, though he has occupants in his chairs.

Two Tigers said...

Oh, excellent! Just the sort of thing that would make me raise my camera thinking - what a great black and white shot this would make! What is it about empty chairs...without their human occupants they seem so attentive and expectant and..human! Great capture.

fabrizio said...

definitly brilliant!!!!

Luis Gomez said...

Love the title and the composition. What a great picture!

RuneE said...

No one relaxing now - only the umbrella is down. Great concept!

Are you sure you aren't planning an exhibition?

DomLOrtha said...

Great composition and work on shadows: the chairs look at the ocean while the shadows go to the hotel: it's well seen!
Have a nice day.

Lúcia said...

Beautiful shot!
By the way, I'd love to spend some hours testing this methodology. :)
Have a nice weekend.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving comment on my blog!
Yes, this is so tempting to relax. I would even forget about taking photo.
Happy Halloween.

Dragonstar said...

Perfect! All those lines and different textures make a wonderful shot.

Otto K. said...

really nice composition. like the repeated patterns here.

LauraX said...

I love all of the texture!!!

Irene said...

Great image ... love the composition and the light!

Picturit said...

Another great image, great contrast and composition.

Bob Crowe said...

For starters, I really like the title. It might have been a pop psychology books I read in college. The image speaks of orderly repose. Probably a little too orderly for me.

Now see, I would have passed right on by that scene but you saw a photo there, and a very nice one at that. Well done.

Alberto Oliver said...

Oh!! a wonderful monochrome, i love the way you create symmetric and well balanced images from everyday patterns.
Oops, it looks like everything is massive produced nowadays, even hollidays and relaxation seems to belong in a chain =)

JM said...

I agree with Joanne. Great composition and great framing!

T, you made me smile with your comment regarding the 'Dia de los Muertos & me'! :-) Yes, blogging is fantastic!

Volker Becker said...

I like the repeated patterns in your image! Is it sand outside the building?

Steffe said...

They obviously knew you were coming and took off so that you would get this cool photo. And I think that was very nice of them, whoever they are.

Antonia said...

I love the graphic, but the methodology is obviously too sophisticated for the people :)

jennyfreckles said...

That's a great image - the umbrella breaks up the orderliness and thus is the masterstroke.

Costea Andrea Mihai said...
