A bench with a view.

I came across this in a park near Niagara Falls, and decided to make somewhat of an "artsy" shot of it. Please let me know your thoughts on the composition, conversion, or any other comments you may have!

The view on the other side must be amazing?
Certainly interesting

Nice catch and I like where you're going with this but it looks (on my monitor) to be a bit dim and lacking any real pop.

Must be for those visitors to the falls who suffer from vertigo...

Must be for those visitors to the falls who suffer from vertigo...:lol: It's actually a bit of a drive from the falls themselves.

The circular wall actually has a water feature in the center for kids to splash & play in during the summer...

As for the photo itself - I do agree it's a bit on the dark side, but I'm pretty sure that only happened after saving to jpeg. In photoshop itself, the photo was a bit brighter & more contrasty...:confused: Any thoughts on what might be causing it? I import the RAW file into photoshop, convert the colour profile from Adobe RGB to sRGB, and after PP I save to jpeg. This workflow seemed to fix a lot of the colour issues I've been having with my photos, but I did notice the b&w ending up a bit dark...
