I'm NOT a morning person, but I had to try for a candid like this. It was hard because I was trying to be on stealth. I like how this one turned out. (In the next shot the guy is looking right at me -- busted!)

All in all, one of the more charming shots I've seen of late -- a good capture of "life per normal". My only really concern is that it doesn't quite scream "COFFEE" at me, as all of the logos are covered. Still an 8 in my book, though.
Nicely done. I can't really suggest anything to improve it. I looked at this photo for over a minute before I even noticed the motion blur in the top middle. Good job.
I like the motion effect of the server behind the counter. It contrasts nicely with the stillness of the people in the foreground. *They* aren't in any hurry. Using the natural lighting with a slow shutter worked great on this.
ohhh yea! But please tell me... why is there a Billy Bass hanging on the wall? Is this a hillbilly starbucks? Do they actually serve sanka? Is that man hitting on his sister? Why is Billy wearing a santa hat? Does the owner have a bad habit of not taking down his crappy Christmas decorations? And look at that guy in the college sweatshirt behind the stack of tobacco presses... he has the bad habbit of driking WAY too much caffeene.
