Cool An Abandoned Post

This shot was captured in Eureka, California. The two chairs and table seemed somewhat mysterious to me. One chair blocking the door on the left, and the other chair propped up against the wall. The cigarettes in the ash tray were still smoking. It was right outside of a local, small town bar. It made me wonder if there was more to these two chairs than meets the eye.

So, I gave it the title..

"An Abandoned Post"

The Abandoned Post

Hoping it may stir a little thought in you, as it did in me.

All comments/criticism welcome!

P.S.
Thanks again for all your constructive criticism on my other works, and I hope you will enjoy this shot as well.

I was thinking that if nobody commented on this it really would be "an abandoned post."

I like the effect; what is it?
