Not sure if I'm uploading correctly (first time) but let's see.

This is one of my favourite shots, made earlier this year at Caffe Novecento during Corso Italia. Looking forward to hearing what you think.

A wonderful theme - like it very much in b/w. Maybe you should try to sharpen it a little bit?

Nice Wes. Composition works, nice exposure.
In the bottom right hand corner are some very bright leaves that add a bit of a distraction.
Apart from that I like.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

MoinMoin,

I agree it looks a little soft. I have a couple of other versions where it's much sharper, but overall decided I liked this one better--although I have several versions printed to see which one sells the most.

You're right, I never noticed that distraction until you mentioned it. Maybe a little judicious cropping is in order for future versions.

Thanks again!

Hmm. This is a poser. Nice composition, nice exposure, nice in B&W, but that's my problem it's just nice. It doesn't POP for me. Nothing I can put my finger on but there's just something missing for me.

I've come back to this photo several times. Everything else everyone has said I agree with. The tones are really nice, exposure and composition.

But I to feel the same as Iggy.

How is the colored version? Just wondering if maybe it has lush greens and stone grey that would look wonderful?
