Matty-Bass said:I'm not sure what to think of the composition on this one, feels more like a point-and-click. Nothing strikes me as the subject or focus, aside from the bar as a collective. Ceiling is a little too underexposed, loses most or all architectural detail. It appears to be a difficult room to expose evenly, may benefit from cropping the roof out a bit and bringing the focus on the customers?

I am constantly drawn to the sign.
Why the slow shutter speed? Why take that chance on the image?
I ask because I think you might have a reason?
You also mentioned it was converted to black and white. How did the colour one turn out?
It's simply too small to appreciate all of the details...the details, wherein lies the Devil, are all hidden by the down-sizing for the web...doggone it...I wanna see the Devil!!
I gotta disagree with The_Traveler that the above part of the framing makes no sense---this is EXACTLY the "new pub" feeling...a very high ceiling, open-beamed (often steel beamed), finished most often in black paint, with exposed pipes and conduit and HVAC ductwork...a huge, big, BLACK HOLE above the pub area...it is in one way, a good example of modern "negative space"...and no, I am not kidding one bit. THIS IS EXACTLY the way a lot of new beer joints in American strip malls and mini-malls are designed and decorated...and so it actually does make sense. It's both straightforward documentary, and also, almost a subtle form of social commentary, as well as that negative space we hear so much about.
I think this would have much more impact if there was less ceiling and more chair legs. even floor.
The people are floating in mid air but there is nothing above to make the framing make sense.
Technically I agree with everything said. But for some reason or another I like this photo.
point and click...maybe...Nice vintage looking point and click? You bet. I like it :thumbup:
Honestly I didn't edit it as color at all. I looked and thought I had. By looking at the original color image I felt the different colors distracted and liked it in b&w better. Maybe I will try a color edit. Do you feel a color image would be better?
