Hi Guys!

For your C&C - Coffee break
Terrible mixed light, ISO 1000, f/8, 1/30

Don't know why but I like something about this picture. Anyone else?

But where's all that beautiful coffee?

G'day,
I know Diddly about this sort of photography but can appreciate the framing of the girl, the paper and the couple in the corner in another world... Only thing I'm not sure on, is the bright background outside and the people in the street seemed to over-power the foreground person and the background couple... Not sure whether I'd try lightening some detail in the foreground person's face or not, maybe just a smidge, not sure...

Only rambling...

Hi Hlop...

To be honest this image doesn't really appeal to me. I think maybe it might have more appeal were there a sexy cup of coffee sitting on front of the lady.

regards,
Owen.

Fair enough, guys! This photo just cught my eye when I was going through Hunter Valley photos ..... Lara, reading newspaper, makes a frame for a couple in the background. And all that's happened when we had a coffee brake in Hunter Gardens ... Just a coffee break

I quite like it, Mikhail. I like the contrast between moods created by very bright light in the background and very subdued atmosphere in the foreground.
