Regulars at a cafe shop.
Again reminded by Paul's image of an old hand holding a ciggie.
Intrusion or interest. Discreet shot without asking.
My aim here was to practise street photography.
Thanks for comments and suggestions.
V2 is a crop based on Richard's suggestion.

The above was my immediate initial thought as well Ian. The lady to the right with her bright dogtooth coat does seem to attract one's eyes, when your picture really is the three to the left. Given the modern day garb worn by the subjects I think colour would help with this particular image.
I feel you have a candid here Ian and as you are not holding the subjects up to ridicule I don't see any intrusion.

I always enjoy images of people when they don't see you. A great moment captured, especially in mono!
Maggie
This is a super candid shot, works just great as converted Ian. I think V1 by a country mile, as it conveys the sense of people having a casual coffee, and the juxtaposition of the two on the right add a completely different dimension to what would be a rather ordinary shot.
Great work
Regards
Willie
"Tae see ourselves as ithers see us" - the quote may not be spelt correctly but you get my drift!
Taken in my favourite coffee chain and how often we do find ourselves looking at other people for many different reasons.
This is a right motley crew with a brew!
I think I do prefer the fuller picture because every face tells a story.
Great street photography.

Thank you.
Nine very useful inputs. Great, the photo seems well received and I got some very useful advice. Over half for cropping.
I really am finding this gallery useful for learning
