It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Beautifully composed and full of unanswered questions. Just who sat there last? Who will sit there next? The choice of lens is perfect.
Best wishes,

Andrew

I can answer the questions. The seats are empty due to Mr Hollande's latest imposition, the sitting on a chair in a park tax.

Nice range of tones.

Very nice - I love the DoF that you've chosen, so that you can still see the empty benches either side of the path in the background.

My only criticism - the white post (back left) - my eye keeps getting drawn to it and away from the chairs in the foreground.

You've nailed this one alright, portrait format and DOF work very well plus a rich tonal range all add up to a great shot
