    It feels like the 1970's for some reason. Can't say I really like it, but it does evoke a sense of place.

    I'll mention one thing, my $.02

    I don't like that the guy is making eye contact, it makes it feel like you are part of the picture, I'd rather feel like you are not there, and are just a fly on the wall just documenting life.

    Anyway, that's my opinion, whether it's wrong or right, that's your decision...

    Keep shooting!

    Definitely like it. But would like to see a contrastier treatment.

    I like the guy on the right in the back making eye contact. Pretty woman to the left. Shady guy to the right. My imagination runs with potential drama. Very cool...

    I've been looking for shots in which one or more people are looking at the camera. I've tried it without success. This one doesn't pull me in.
    I find myself reading the titles on the books which is likely not what you intended.
    I looked last night and again today. I want to like it, but.

    BD - I'm glad you like it BD. I want more contrast too - hard for me to figure it on my little laptop with the bright screen. I know it isn't right, but don't know just how to fix it without actually seeing the results.I was really afraid of plugging the black in the woman's coat to the point where it would be distracting. Will redo the photo when I get home.

    Thanks for your comment, Wally. I appreciate your telling me what you liked about it.

    Liz, I appreciate your efforts to like it and also your taking the time to respond.
