Lunch silhoutte

I metered for the outside and in post moved the blacks almost completely to the left. I left some details in the shadows. Works or crush blacks completely?

I like the bit of detail in the scene but it could work very well with it as purely a silhouette.

Nice one. If it weren't for the three columns a silhouette of the diners might work, but as is, it almost seems that you need a little detail on the diners to keep their shapes from blending with the columns and becoming unrecognizable black blobs.

I couldn't put my finger on it until you said diners as black blobs. Thanks both for the feedback.
