Interesting shot, quite evocative. great B&W conversion. composition bothers me a bit, I find it the weakest part of a fine shot. The window on the right runs parralell while the one on the left slants out of the frame silghtly and the heavy base of the sidewalk has no compensating cap to stop the eye from sliding off the top of the picture while they follow the vertical lines upward. Still, nice shot.
Intriguing. Has a sense of stillness, a sense of closed-for-lunch (strangely, given the sign). Evidence of heavy over-sharpening, especially around those letters in the sign, and the jaggies on the plant-pot. But I do like tthe composition very much, and that sense of grain. 7
Great sharpness lifts this somewhat mundane subject out of its surroundings and makes it pop. I can almost feel the texture of those bricks and weathered wood. I imagine lunches that are better than anything currently on the market, though I cannot imagine what might be in them.
It's very quaint and the toning is good although I'm curious about what it looks like in color. All those flowers just scream for color and life. Nicely captured.
