Interesting portrait. I especially like how she stands out so distinctly from the background.

I like the lightly shaded quietude of this image. Light fills the interior, reducing the weak glow from the bulbs on the wall to a patch of yellow. You've caught the diners wonderfully, in open deliberation on the right and as a bass note with the couple on the left. The picture on the wall is another nice touch, bringing the outside in. And outside the window are the lively canopies and sunshot trees. Lastly, the subtle framing is really fine, the column on the left and the table with glasses on the bottom. Magnifique!

Very nice. He doesn't know that he is being subsumed by reflections and continues on patiently. He has what I imagine is a Gallic mien, though I wouldn't know from experience. I like the strong verticals that frame him.

Lovely light here, I might have pushed him more over to the left but yet again I don’t know what was to the right.
