I like #2 - square is good, and damn! …watch where you're sticking your fingers! …almost had my eye out, dammit!

As Wil notes, 1 is fun. Two, however, Rocks! Very nice.

I understand that your comments are not proof that I am not nuts, but I do appreciate them nonetheless.

Thanks for the comment, Quark.
When I lifted my camera, it was because I was fascinated by the serene looking woman in the far corner and wondered what a shot would look like with her as a focal point of serenity in the hubub of the bustling restaurant. I knew that she would be a small subject in the frame but I had some post processing ideas in mind to help the viewer see what I was seeing.
The menu in the foreground ended all that. Couldn't get the photo without it. (The woman in the corner left right after I snapped the shot and the nearby lady held the darned thing up forever.) Still I rather liked what I saw and took the photograph.
In the end, I think the main interest is in the foreground - with the serene face quietly balancing out the weirdness of the woman peeking out from behind the menu and the man with one eye blocked from our view by his lunch companion.
Liz, I'm glad you like the conversion. It's hard for me to see how successful it is on my little laptop with uncalibrated screen and variable brightness depending on how much it is tilted!! Thank heavens for histograms.

I think you succeeded admirably. She was what I noticed first and what I keep going back to. The rest is a lot of fun, especially the one-eyed creatures. Beautiful pic.
