I like the way it disappears into darkness. Something slightly forboding about this, but it's all suggested, all in the mind. As if there are the impressions of countless people who have lived and died, leaving an invisible stain. Or something like that :-)

...and lean over the back part? What an odd thing; at any rate like the b&w and the comp here. As a sucker for infinite black I like how the room disappears into it. Very cool.

with partitions to keep them from rubbing knees? excellent still life foto

Wonderful image and the composition is superb! Looks more like a mid-evil torture device :-) Could be just a tad-bit sharper though :-) (Of course kidding muchly) Superb!

great picture - especially the textures :-))

BEEEEAUTIFULL!Love it,I vote for it!

Well Done!

J'aime bien l'id et l'objet, et aussi le choix du noir et blanc, mais je trouve aussi que c'est un tout petit peu trop sombre sur la fin de la photo. Mais le tout est tr sympa ;o))))

A wonderful photo. I also like the way it fades away to black. Thanks for telling us what this really is. I've never heard of such a piece of furniture used for this purpose.
