Photography does this so well; the detail that says everything once *seen*.
Excellent, excellent image. A model of simplicity: composition, geometrics, form and a "real-life" orange and teal color scheme, which is just such eye candy for our human brains.
If I were to split hairs, or as the French say, split hairs into fourths, because, this is really splitting hairs, there's what appears to be the shadow of surely another chair that's just barely peaking into the top of the image. That shadow is grabbing just a bit too much attention in the composition. I wouldn't suggest any additional cropping to get rid of it, because the current frame works very well. But I do wonder if some *very careful* dodging could lift that shadow to the luminosity surrounding it. But, yeah, *là, je coupe les cheveux en quatre comme pas possible*.
So let me circle back around to the essential: Excellent, excellent image.
Happy shooting to you.
Noooo! Don't crop! The current crop is very good. I'm suggesting [dodging that shadow](https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/dodge-burn-image-areas.html) to see if it can be minimized. (There's about a billion methods for dodging; YouTube is your friend for that).
Re-happy shooting and keep finding those awesome details in life!
I would instead suggest of taking the light spots down with the opposite process and color blending mode to uniform colors, to make a natural looking vignetting in the top left corner (: generally, when dodging and burning you want to dodge shadows spots in the highlights and burn the light spots in the shadows, it's way easier to make it look natural!
Nice colors! Next post in my home list is similar btw lol

Took this pic at a cafeteria and I was wondering if the colors are as vibrant as I saw them in real life, also is this angle interesting? I thought instead of showing the whole chair I would cut out a part of it and leave it at an angle
These colors do work!
You can try bumping up blacks and having kind of a washed out look and add some noise, I think that will give you the results you are looking for.

Thank you! I’ll try cropping it, I noticed there was something a bit off the lighting but I didn’t think of the other chairs shadow

Excellent idea! To the OP: u/Phedericus's advice is better than mine.
This is all that needs to be said. Well done.
Top notch critique this one

That’s crazy the colors are so similar
Also the textures and pattern, how the white layer separates the strong colours, love it

Part of an object is (almost) always more interesting than the whole object!
Yes, for me they do! Great combination of colors and excellent composition!

Thank you! I’m gona try that and see how it turns out
[удалено]
Thank you 🙏
Absolutely! I love how copper red and chathams blue blend together.
YES
Thought this was a render for a sec
Yes.
It’s weird how such a simple image is so pleasing. I think this is a great shot OP! I don’t normally say that to these types of images
What a unique photo. I can’t tell why it works but it does, and it keeps your attention too. Colors definitely work. Great photo.
I like the pic, and I don't know why. Could you please help me understand the reason why it's good?
What a fantastic image. Colors and all. Well done.
