...to sit down. Looks kinda lonely sitting there by itself. I used Lightroom to edit this. I normally don't like partially desaturated images but I do like this one because of the color of the bench and so on. I softened the grass, removed color, added vignette. Took about 5 to 7 minutes in Lightroom 2.

    Thanks Skippy. I'm wondering if the apple tree behind the bench is distracting or actually helps the photo. Not sure.

    Very nice use of selective colorization. I think the tree is important in this image since it's shade is probably the reason the bench was placed in that particular spot.
