Hoping for a New Home       ©2020 jomari
Panasonic DMC-FZ70       5th place, 89 points
1/59s, f3.8, ISO 200, 50mm, Normal Program, Pattern, no flash
 
Post-Processing: Crop. Topaz Adjust spicify. Nik color effects detail extraction. Auto colour, auto contrast. Hue/saturation adjustment to certain areas (reflection, stains under seat) replaced a cigarette butt with a small clump of grass. Topaz denoise on a section of driveway behind grate. Spot healing tool. Image resize and save for web.       Extra Info: This poor couch had been left on the nature strip for the taking (a common method of people-to-people recycling). We saw it the day before I took this shot and it was in good nick. Then it rained! I have some doubts that it will find a new owner now.

Oct 14, 2020		     Any time I see furniture at the curb I can't help remembering the episode in Big Bang Theory with something unknown crawling around inside it :-)

Oct 13, 2020		     Thank you all for the comments and votes.

I don't know what the eventual fate of the couch was but a day or two after this it was gone.

Oct 13, 2020		     Congratulations! So sad to see something that was once loved and had a prominent place in the home, now left out to rot...

Oct 12, 2020		     Top 5 I ranked this one in my list but still this caught more votes that I thought.

Oct 12, 2020		     The rain adds so much more to the desperate state of a couch left on the side of the road. Great composition, colour and detail - I can see the reflection of the floral pattern in the puddle.

Oct 10, 2020		     Well timed shot. The water really increases the appeal of this shot, with all the reflected light. It wouldn't be nearly as effective on a dry day. Love the colours and composition. Would be perfect for the next challenge too :-).

Oct 9, 2020		     I hate the fabric and the couch but the composition, colour and framing, and HDR treatment I assume, all go well together. This is oddly compelling since I dislike the individual elements (plastic HDR, mucky curb, overflowered couch...)

Oct 9, 2020		     This is a great find! I am assuming that you did not pose it.

Oct 9, 2020		     Nicely spotted and shot. Initially. a sign saying "Free" might have helped; now, a trash can next to it would complete the story.

Oct 9, 2020		     Great subject, and i like the head-on composition, with the inclusion of the driveway to give a real sense of place - and to contrast the floral design with real flowers.

Oct 9, 2020		     Oh, how sad.... I like the way the flower print complements the garden.
