What is "here"?

[alaios]

Hi there team!
This is one of the times I just raised my camera without thinking much.

I edited a bit and the image got a very specific look.
I am not sure why but my eyes say that this works for a reason.




Can you find the reason I think that this works? Perhaps is the table and the wood that is atop of it that make you wonder "who left it there?"



Comments?

Subjectively a photo can mean something to the photographer and nothing to someone else. Its a nice picture, I dont know exactly what you've done to it but the colours are nicely muted. Vivid colours are not for every subject. It's good.

Even when taking a snapshot framing is important, it eventually becomes second nature if you think about it every time you pick up your camera. In digital, you can have the rule of thirds grid displayed, learn what it is for and it will help.

An interesting subject, that for me would come to life in 3D, but then that's my thing.

Thanks .
I appreciate the time you spent answering. I still find the image atttractive. Unfortunately it looks like that this is my opinion as I shared my image here and there and almost no comments appeared. Still though that is me it reminds me like a drawning with perhaps some impressinostic taste.

Hi Alex, it does look a little impressionistic. I couldnt find a word to describe it.

Weathered wood is always a good subject. I suggest a crop to remove the part at the front leaving only the wood may improve it, leaving the eye to dwell only on the main subject.

It does have something, but I would also suggest a tighter crop to center attention, so
the viewers eye does not need to wander around that much
