Firstly, thank you for entering my competition. The surrealistic nature of the image is most appealing as well as creative - how often haven't we all imagined a similar process playing out in our own minds? The leaking roof with the various buckets is most humorous which is in contrast to the look of despair of the woman sitting in the easy chair. She has obviously decided to make herself comfortable and even provided an umbrella to protect herself from the droplets. The various contrasting colours also tend to make the image more vivid and appealing on the eye. Congratulations and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my competition. The pure simplicity of this image once again proves to us that less is more. Our eye is immediately drawn to the main topic at hand- that of the bench. The lack of other irrelevant objects cluttering up the image works well so as to not to divert your attention. The yellow grungy wall in the background works well with the wooden bench and tends to be a perfect colour combination The square muriel upon the wall also serves as a point of interest but not in such a fashion so as to divert your attention from the bench but to rather compliment it in a satisfactory manner.Congratulations and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my competition. The white on white used in the image tends to evoke feelings of purity as found in the younger generation still to be exposed to the hardships of the the real world. Her innocence is apparent as she sits in a relaxed position upon the chair. The usage of minimalism and negative space also tends to draw our attention to the main topic at hand- that of the girl lost in her own thought processes . One also tends to ponder upon what is on her mind and this makes us linger for longer than usual upon the image. Congratulations and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my competition. The vibrant colours used in the image provides for the perfect but busy harbour scene-this, however, is very amicable on the eye. I just feel that seen this was a competition for chairs,stools and benches that should've been more the focal point than the total scene as displayed.The gentleman sitting on the seat though does create the perfect point of interest as he seems to be in his element with his task at hand. Congratulations and well done!
