Location: Williamstown, MA
Date: Jul 29, 2005
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/50
Date Uploaded: Jul 29, 2005

 Taken from the street to inside the local coffee shop where they open the windows like garage doors on nice days. I almost never take pictures of people and even more rare is people I don't know. I stood in the middle of the road and the only people to notice were the ones not in the shot.

Crop, resize, USM, save for web.

Post challenge:
I guess I took it literally and applied my experiences in DPCFanatics - chaotic, distracting, always more than one conversation going on, getting cut off, server lagged, confused...try it sometime when it is busy.

The color is very nice. The angle seems all wrong. Basically you have two chats going on here and you have split the veiwers interest between the two. The better photo would have been focused on the left group (since one person is facing the camera. Another distraction is the cut in half photos on the background wall. If this couldn't be avoided, It should be blurred. I think you have an interesting photojournalistic eye here, but the framing and angle need work.

Theres not really much here to hold me interest, and the composition seems awkward with people being cut off and not much space to breathe.
