I like it but would suggest cropping off the top about half way from the top of the coke machine and the top of the frame, Jeff

Why on earth do that? The coke machine is centred then

I like this composition, the window panes look just a little crooked. did you add a vignette?

Perhaps a tiny bit crooked :blush2: Good eyes !

Added a little bit vignetting. Original scene was kind of dark anyhow as it was under a stairswell.


Thanks for the comments, folks !!

The reason I would do the crop is that I think it has too much empty space in the top of the frame. The rule of thirds usually is the better option but it is not a law that it it has to be done. Here I just like it better without all the empty space on top. I believe the red reflection helps off set it being more centered. Just my opinion, Jeff

It's not empty space.
I can see the lights on the ceiling in there.
It's dark, certainly, but my profiled monitor shows shadow detail.

The vignette is a really nice touch. I don't think I'd like this photo without it, but I would have never thought of it.

To me the Critque forum is about all of us expressing our opinions and ideas on pictures that have been posted to get new ideas and options on the picture. It is not about right or wrong, it is about different ways of looking at things. Just because my suggestion is different doesn't make it wrong...... its just another point of view. If anyone prefers it a different way that is great also but I still like my idea, Jeff

I like the concept, but honestly the window frame framing the coke machine just isn't doing it for me. Regarding the top crop I could go either way, they both work equally well. I do like the reflection on the tabletop and the silhouetted chairs but can't really muster any suggestions for improvement to the overall image
