My first entry into DPChallange. I'm a film guy playing with digital, and purchased the Optio S4 as the perfect toy a while back. And as a neat little toy that I can take anywhere (in an Altoids can), I'm gonna try to show that it's more than just a toy - it's a work of art.
B/W conversion, moved up the black levels a bit, and that's pretty much all I did. Probably should do more, but I'm satisfied with how it looks.

Overall the image seems to be a litle underexposed but their are bright spots on top midle and right wich are litle distracting. Also the glass reflection makes the image litle caotic.
Its a nice pic but the picture should have been taken from the inside, but can understand you wont be able to get the same angle from the inside. its just that the reflections from the window are quite distracting.
You could have thrown a brick at it , taken a the picture and run away ;p
hehehehehehe
There are an awful lot of elements to this photograph - even without patrons, the cafe still seems "busy" due to elements everywhere in the frame, compounded by the reflections we're seeing on the glass you apparently took this through. Distracts from the feeling of "silence".
nice use of B&W, busy-ness of the background is balanced by the dark foreground. I'd like a bit more light (or an accent light) in the foreground to take my eye off the bright object in mid-left
