 I just could not get this one right.

I almost didn't enter, and the minimal editing rules are killing me. There's no way my camera can catch the same tonality as Henri did.

I had a few other subjects that were more in the realm, homelessness, and people pushing by, but the crops were awful, and the contrast was way too bright.

hell, if I don't finish dead last, I'll be happy with this one. hell, even if I do, it might be deserving.

I REALLY want to fix the rotation. badly.

Back to comment: Is she deep in thought or captivated by something going on outside the window?. Doesn't matter. .. This has a person of interest and great tones. My only quibble in terms of this challenge is that it is more two-dimensional than most of HCB's images, but the reflections in the glass help provide some feeling of depth to the image (BTW: Well done keeping your reflection from being too obvious in the image)

I like just the hint of the guy on the right, and the way the wording on the window lines up with the table. Unfortunate position of her pinkie finger.

I think a tigher crop would've worked better.

I like the candid moment of this one, though the apple on the right is distracting. 8
