For C&C

It'd have been a great diner shot without her in it.

When I look at this photo I get a sense of a cluttered, jumbled scene. Nothing (meaning no single object) really grabs my interest and holds it. There are many unusual shapes and objects; the funnel, the track lighting set-up, the exhaust pipes, the two water pitchers, the woman, and the other miscellaneous stuff, like that very large, prominent counter on which the pitchers are placed. The tones are nice, I guess. There does seem to me to be a tad too much muddy gray, across the majority of the image. Again, it's sort of a scene that features a lot of variety, a great deal of dissonance, and has no central focal point--except the very chaotic nature, or essence, of the location. And perhaps that is enough. I dunno. People say C&C is all subejective. Maybe they're right.

I'll mirror this but also add that I'm not sure if you're intrigued by the scene, or the person within the scene. It's not clear from this photo, because too many things compete for attention.

Take away all the interesting surroundings, and you might have a nice candid portrait. Take away the person, and you might have a visually interesting restaurant scene. But together I don't think they come together coherently in this particular image.

And all this chatter about the "butt" seems flirting with the pointless.
