olá, very nice photo although it seems that this woman is not very pleased to be in that bar. very nice composition and lovely colors. congratulations. pedro

This seems like a classic American road trip shot. She looks tired, and ready to move on. The blurry window makes the town seem unimportant to her mission. Well done!

Hi Cristian, good picture, the composition, the expression of the woman, the diagonal point of view. And for sure B&W gives a great touch. Congrats! Chau chau,

HI Christian,

A splendid portrait taken in a restaurant.
Beautiful black & white tones and and wonderful composition.
A good idea to incoporate the street in your image.
Friendly regards,
Eddie

Hi Cristian,
Beautifull composition.
I like the gradation of light from left to right and this sight which could go out directly of a film.
Attractive sepia treatment which is very adapted to the subject by bringing a historic dimension to the scene.
Have a nice day
Diane
** I come back

Tin minte poza asta de pe treklens nu as mai avea multe de adaugat,frumoasa scena in sepia.Cred ca o sa iti placa trekearth-ul.
Horatiu

Hi Cristian,
this is a good shot placing the subject in one side of the image to create balance but as a rule if the person you are photographing is looking in one direction it is best to place them on the opposite side of the frame. this is just my humble opinion, rules are made to be broken anyway.

Dear Cristian Tomescu,
the air in this shot seems a little tired and bored feeling like the 1970s to me,
and in my feeling, total ambience in this B&W image is more old like in TV movie or film movie of 1950s...
perhaps this "light and shadow" and " clear and blur" make your original space in this shot.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Bonjour Cristian
Une superbe cliché avec un excellent noir et blanc qui donne beaucoup de force à la composition, bravo à toi!

I adore these stolen moments of daily life, moment which tell us a little story. I always try to build me a story around such a photo.

Efficient angle, Cristian, and a good expression you caught here. Excellent exposure and sharpness... well done, Daniel

Another photograph to watch and not get tired of it. A magnificent composition with several pockets of not distract attention, mainly: woman, glasses and street through the window. Choosing the right color.
Greetings

pefect shot Cristian, the model seems to be not aware of you, so natural, and the BG is interesting, not disturbing, also for the perfect lighting.
Just a remarque, I dont think you adjusted so well levels... ;)
