I used the 50mm for the first time in over a year, maybe longer. It's limiting as I had to crop this image considerably in pp but the results work, imho.
A couple of high society babes dishing! Wonderful catch, very well composed/framed. And of course quite nice in B&W - emphasizes that high society feel.
Good one. I really like the balance between the two patrons. The outstretched hand really show there is an ongoing conversation between the two hidden people. It is a shame that they couldn't center the table in the window and fix the curtains so they were balanced as well.
GREAT SHOT!!! (Yes! I meant to shout!) I love shots of disembodied hands. Minor nit -- I might burn in the hand on the left a bit to make it stand-out from the white napkins in the background. As I said a minor nit.
What a great peek at an elegant scene! I'm wondering if a slightly closer crop (removing a bit of the excess curtain on the left and centering the coffee pot and flowers) would work as well, though I certainly respect your composition as is.
Edited for spelling. :-/
EDIT: Oh crap, I meant to edit my comment and ended up adding another! :-P

This photo is made all the more interesting by not being able to see the people behind the drapes - the decision to use B&W was an excellent choice - your exposure is good. The dark b/g doesn't distract from the main subject but still is interesting.
