    hey David

    nice conversion

    to my eye I see this cropped to the three people on the left of the image to force the focus on the smiling woman.

    Like it!

    Every person in the shot is interesting, including if we only see the back of the head. Any of them show up at the SMUG?

    none of them showed up:cry

    Angelo, I tried different crop variations and I liked this one the best. I had issues with tight crops that included the man's arm with the cigarette but not the rest of his body.

    I like this one a lot. I keep looking at it trying to figure out what is going on. Who is the woman smiling at? What is the man just to the right of her looking at?

    I'm fine with your crop decision. My eye went to the smiling woman first anyway.

    Very nice b&w conversion too.

    she definitely wasn't smiling at me. The man with the corn rows seemed to be leading the conversation so it must of been something he said. The man with the Gucci shades didn't say a word.

    No crop needed. Very nice image. If it has a 'fault,' it's that the woman is looking at you, rather than engaging with one of the men. Had she been doing so, it would be even stronger. But this is nice as is, and the folks on the right definitely add to the strength of the image.clap.gifclap.gif

    Great picture! Personally, I like the crop. The people in the background seem to give the photo a bit of depth and context.

    Am I the only one that can't help but think the guy on the left looks like Will Smith in disguise?eek7.gif
