The Borough Market café, under the railway lines opposite Southwark Cathedral. There's a lot crammed into a tiny area here.
Thanks to Bob (KingBee), Malc (saltireblue), Andrew (Chiliman), and Joao_Lopes for suggesting a b&w conversion, for once it hadn't occurred to me and I think it works.
Thanks for looking,
Moira

A very nice candid image...
You could burn in a little more of that building through the window.
Well done...

Thanks early birds. Dave, if you knew how much work has gone into the window view to get that bit of detail... !

The monochrome conversion works so well here Moira, with the chrome legs of the stools ruling the roost and the relaxed group resting and chatting.

Remember the colour version well - prefer this one. The silhouettes stand out so much more without the distraction of colours outside the window.

I don't often say this but i think the mono works better Tongue. The face profiles are all beautifully picked out with the rim lighting, and your attention immediately goes to their expressions.

Dave

like the POV and window backdrop

This so works, Moira, and no, not because I was one of those who suggested it Grin

You get to focus more on the people and the light outlining them. Nice cosy feel it's got too, and now I'm wondering what they're talking about...

The magic of this shot has to be the view point Moira, but also a nice bit of Mono for this every Day Life picture.

Definitely a good one for mono, and a very interesting composition. The grouping of the people makes the shot.

Yes the mono works quite nicely here. I like your low POV as well. The exposure is perfect -- lighting the patrons nicely and offering us a glimpse of what is outdoors as well.

Well, I'm amazed to hear that in England there are these kind of cafès under the railways, too. Only last week I sat in one in Berlin and thought this was such a good way to use rare free spaces in a big town.
I just wonder - were you lying on your belly on the floor in order to get this pov??? Smile An interesting thought, perhaps Bill comes up with the proof? Wink
