I Like the lighting in this photo. I wish there was a cup of coffee or something to help the viewer realize this was in a coffee shop of some sort. Also, my eyes keep drifting over to the person in the car outside the window - it's kind of distracting, but I know you couldn't help that.
i like how the image is divided into threes by the window. i like the corrugated metal in the left side of the image. the noise/reflection in the glass detracts somewhat from the image when left in color. i would be interested in seeing how this image would look when converted to b&w.
Looking through a window at someone reading a newspaper is a very boring subject matter and shows very limited imagination, however it is a very well defined image, good contrast and lighting,.t (the unused chair especially)
