Diner

B&W treatment of a diner I took a photo of in Lowell, MA during a trip there. It was the middle of the day and closed, and I had the feeling it was permanently closed, so I wanted to give it a bit of a gritty feel. Love to hear thoughts on it. Thanks!

I like it, but it looks just a tad dark on my computer. Might not be tho

I do tend to go a little dark on some of these treatments because it seems to fit the mood a little better. The question is, would be better less dark?

If you like going darker then that's what you should do I believe the photo needs to speak to what you want and what you see -- not what I see or think

strange for a diner to be closed in a college town. too many vegans maybe.

try it lighter and see. I know for my way of seeing I'm drawn to light areas first and the contrast to dark they provide is much more interesting overall.

Great picture.

I would like to see a bit more contrast with the whites standing out a bit more. I do believe that adding a bit of punch would have the picture jump out more without sacrificing the mood you're trying to convey. But that's just me :-)

Like the shot.
I agree about the too dark thing. Kind of takes away from its drama.
