Wow Rob! Nice pic, been a while since I've been to DA, glad to see you're still photographing.
Where'd you learn to take geometric pics like that, huh?

It is a shame about the scan (would be nicer to have more crisp details), but this is very well composed - you've brought out the solitude of the guy at the table well by offsetting him slightly. Works nicely in monochrome too. I always have problems with exposing scenes correctly when shooting in dark spaces with a bright light behind, but you've done pretty well here. Nice one!

I'm quite glad you chose to vanish out the depth to avoid the eyes looking farr off the picture and admire the ambience whihc the aura itself dwells onto on such solace.

my favorite part is the patterns. They all seem to harmonize in a way.
Poor guy. Can I offer a drink?

but I could sure use some wata
yeah...it does have a sort of geometrical pattern to it on the floor and in the ceiling - one of the things I like bout this shot

Slightly blurry but still a pleasant shot. The glare makes the tables seem like they're floating. Nice catch.

I went back to the original print and the negative: the floor is a tad blurry because the focal point is on the guy in the chair and that focal plane...my scanner is not that great, so it probably didn't help the blurriness at all - which I'm really not happy with.
This is why I wish I had a good negative scanner - but the only one that scans 120/220 film costs about 1200 bucks
thanks for your comment

great shot...and very good meaning...good idea to have it in black and white...brings out the emotion in the photograph itself
