Interesting idea and it works in B&W, but the photo's main focal point for me is the man having his coffee and I find myself distracted by the second sign and the reflections.

I personally feel this photo would have benefited with a tighter crop that eliminated those railings from the foreground. Good luck!

nice try at a modern version of Edward Hopper's painting 'nighthawks' maybe a wider angle would have been nicer.

Good subject and composition, but I think that even though SBs started in America, it's now world-wide and probably not a strong enough "spirit" anymore--I could be wrong.

I like the shot. The hint of movement works. The B&W is perfect. The country is a mystery as there are Starbucks in almost every country in the world now. Sorry, slightly DNMC IMO.
