    Took me a second to get this figured out in my head. When it finally did click I will admit to a smile.

    On the critique side, I can't figure out why the right side of the image - from the back of HIS chair - is necessary. I think cropping that part out would improve the composition and enlarge everything in the frame just a bit...

    Cheers,

    I like it as well, Ben. Gave me a chuckle.

    Okay, so for a moment, imagine the left side by itself as a square. And now imagine that you shot more from the side, so that you weren't in it, and we just had those legs and that wonderful blank space above. Just sayin' ;-)
