There is always someone looking into a phone as if the world will stop if they don't instantly reply, great observation David.

the butler really makes this David. Splendid photo. The boredom if richess.
I echo what's been said above. I especially like the hint of movement in the butler(?), and the painting in the background; even though the lady in the painting is looking at the dog, it seems that she is also looking disapprovingly at those in the hotel room. Great work.

The pre-revolution-French style picture is wonderfully ironic! Do they notice it, I wonder?
The light seems to catch the visible hands, and they're important. One in conversation, one on the mobile, one perhaps in default tip-seeking position. Absolutely love this one.

The reality of the subject is shameful but the photography is a beauty.
Congrats on the HC, David.

I agree about the positioning of those people being a little awkward, but overall, this is a very strong image. The movement of the waiter is excellent. I'm guessing this was at the long end of the lense to avoid spoiling the atmosphere, so moving would have been outta the question.
Love the mono and lighting!
Well done
Cheers, Goggz

that David, is just splendid. POTW so powerful, such a good study. Love it.
Need to see the large version to really see the quality here - it pours off the page. Congratulations on the EC and PoTW. Well deserved David.
very crisp work

Hi Goggz, no long lense here, just sitting quietly in a private club, laid the camera on a table with the 28:200 zoom on quite a wide aperture if I remember correctly with no possibility to move around and clicked away until I was spotted and got some very very nasty looks.
A hasty retreat was asked for.

A great photo. The shutter click on the 1D must be a lot quieter than on my 20D. I think I would have been thrown out after one picture!
I would really love to see the faces more clearly. Even though it looks very natural like this I think the eye is naturally drawn to faces and feels "frustrated" when it can only see bits.
Beautifully detailed and marvellous light, too.

Ha lampshuk, the shutter click on the 1D is horrendously noisy... I just had fake coughing fits everytime I clicked....

Utterly beautiful. The light is entrancing. The composition; impeccable. The atmosphere decadent, alluring and measured. But what I like the most is the harmony in movement/motion/direction (?) between the people and the picture behind them. It's yin and yang. The 'real' woman gestures one way. The 'painted' boy leans the other.
I'd fall on my sword if I had one (or thought it a really good idea in modern times, but you know what I mean - I am so in awe that I can't possibly see myself equalling this).
I'd swear at this point if I thought it appropriate. So, all I can say to punctuate this is 'Bravo'.

A remarkable image, and so deserving of its many, many awards.
Although the image is in B&W and is of an interior you wouldn't perhaps normally associate with him, this reminds me of an Edward Hopper painting....especially in its thumbnail format. Perhaps it's the woman's hairstyle which, from afar, looks as if it might have been designed in the 1920s, 30s or 40s!

Superb photojournalism, David. A wonderful image, with all the elements hanging together perfectly, and with a fantastic tonal range. I'd never have the nerve to try a shot like this.

Sorry to be late in my commenting, but as you know I'm not on ePz so much these days.

RC, EC, POTW and so many User Awards they had to install a scroll bar to show them all. You should be utterly ashamed of yourself Mr. Deveson 
Never had a scroll bar to myself Mr Belgikskenikske, makes me feel quite humble... take care

Hi Photoion...
I'm afraid I do it all the time... sitting around with a camera watching waiting, I was just waiting for my aperitivo and watching these 'fat cats' totally unaware of the world around them... I loved the light and just gave it a go... I often do... I guess it's a case of don't do, don't get and anyway the light was beautiful, good enough reason for any shot

Ah, I love this type of light, mysterious, excellent interpretation of it in this case. I am glad that it was the element that commenced this picture, the aspect that made you to think (and risk) about this shot.
I hope my question did not trouble you in any way but I am really interested in this type of b&w shots especially in what was the "primordial" element that produced the shot (composition, light, curiosity, voyeurism, or sometimes nothing of these - just a mistake).
well done again. I just love this shot.
