Thanks for both your comment postings, Yakim, my friend! I think being called a "genius" by you and Andrew-Bede is a bit over the top, but certainly very sweet of you both.
As to the way I put this together, I would agree with your point about the chair and its locale if i were trying to convey that Eva is sitting somewhere real and then going off into a world of imagination. BUT, this work has three parts. The first is the tangible, real world, which is solely represented by Eva and the chair. The second is her imagination of a real world - represented by the water garden on the right. If I were trying to represent reality there, I certainly wouldn't have placed the feet of the chair in the middle of the lake. From that imaginary world, I then take her to the left side of the photo which is a far more idealized and fantastic representation of an imaginary world, with birds that fly into super-saturated sunsets while trailing stars in their wake. Just as in a story book, where the scene may shift from chapter to chapter, here I wanted to represent her imagination taking flight into realms that are not necessarily earthbound. Perhaps, I wasn't entirely successful but I'm glad you generally like the resulting shot.
Warm regards,
Endre

I would agree if the chair was one which is commonly used in the garden. Then the right part would fit in nicely as a representative of the real world. However, this chair is so homely in its shape that I'd rather see a home interior as this representative. JMHO of course.
But I do agree about the end. Endre is indeed a true genius (I call him 'The maestro of light') and the numerous WA he won is a testimonial of that.
Happy shooting,
Yakim.
