The two men looking out of shot to the left are absolutely essential to the composition. Without them, the photo would be very busy and lacking in focus; with them, the viewer is directed to follow their gaze off to the relatively quiet lower-left area and can occasionally wander over to the wealth of detail to the upper right. The half-drunk pint on the bar is a subtle but important detail. Without it, the viewer might wonder why he or she was sitting in this bar, observing the scene but that glass includes the viewer in the scene.
I'm not a fan of the graininess in the large version because it de-emphasizes the two men. A rare occasion where the small version works better, for me.

Me, I'm a fan of graininess. I'm not a fan of beer - I've tried very hard to appreciate it and failed, I doubt that this will achieve any lasting conversion. But it's still one hell of a fine picture.
I do love the way the two profiled faces echo the pint glass and jug on the bar just perfectly.

You are the master of HDR - mostly I've been getting fed up of overcooked HDR images - but yours never fail to impress me and make me go WOW!
Brilliant.

Expertly composed shot, processed to perfection.

Classic thearmsofvenusdemilo treatment here, and a composition that is both disturbing and intriguing. The eye is drawn out towards whatever the men might be looking at (and the mind boggles!) whilst the weight of the elements around the bar pulls us back in again.
Just might get a little dizzy with the eyes doing all that to-ing and fro-ing

There is a lot going on in this shot Colin, nevertheless it works for me. I think its the combination of intrigue and the timeless quality given to it by the mono conversion and hdr processing.

Hi Col Hi Maeve - yes, does this whet the appetite for Doolin or what?
Nearly certainly it'll be the weekend of the time change, 27-30 March, as martin has something on the weekend after. I have to chat to Maeve to confirm the house is \ok |(and hopefully the neighbour's)
In the meantime, top shot, very evocative - a pint of Graininess please

Are we there yet... Maybe we should invite Keith and Mads...
A great image. I don't like grain add to a shot but this time I think you got it right. I like the half drunk pint of the black stuff on the bar that holds the shot at the centre..
This is a great bit of work.....
Have a happy X-MASS and a great NEW YEAR to you and your family....
