    The second works better for me. What is on those screens? I kind of like the digital look contrasted with the heads above--very Bay Area. I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at in the first. The text in the lower right doesn't seem to be connected to the rest. headscratch.gif

    I wish there for more detail.
    The people in the picture are too dark and grainy.

    The screens are LCD TVs showing a soccer match (pre World Cup). It was the combination of the heads and TVs that caught my attention.

    The first is a "mood" shot. Many bars are actually sad, lonely locales. Here the text is contradicted by the empty table of abandoned drinks. The faces are deliberately dark/silhouetted to facilitate the mood. BUT if I have to explain it, it probably doesn't connect with the viewer. But, then again, I like it...

    Thanks!
