I took this photo in a restaurant at Pike's Place Market in Seattle. I knew it was going to be a black and white shot while I was taking the photos.
I also got a wonderful comment from somebody, saying, "Why would ANYONE take a photo of someone eating?" It's not like I was taking a closeup shot of people chowing down or anything...GEEZ!
Nice use of ambient lighting here, and I like the way the empty foreground pulls the viewer into the frame. Probably wouldn't have done too well with those strickly looking for a "Street" theme - but it's a very nice image IMO.
