This is a lovely photo. I really like the sense of calmess and stillness it evokes.It also makes me feel very cold! I also love the symmetry of the two deer it makes the photo compositionally interesting but could be cropped a tad more to the right.I fyou had the opportunity again I would also think about the foreground and somehow make it a bit more interesting. Congrats to your team for beating me and thanks for the chance to have a look through your portfolio (",)

Wonderful glossy details. I like the four square reflection in each one.

Idea for take three: Make the window a triangle.
One of the balls is not in line.

I think this would be better with the black ball in the centre which would give a centre of interest

"I read the news today, oh boy!" from "A Day in the LIfe" - Sergeant Pepper

Comment by CNovack:
This photo is a good shot, but there are a few things you could do to move it out from the good category and into the extraordinary category. First off, there are too many elements in the shot that clutters it and diminishes a focal point. A tighter crop chopping out the folded table on the left & the table against the metal backdrop on the right would center/ground the focus on the man sitting at the two seater table. Next, the glare on the cafe window is distracting - a simple polorizer filter to illiminate glare would take care of that - flash would not be good because most times it will just bounce off the glass and create a bigger problem of glare. An alternate would be to have been there at a different time of the day as that the sun's position will greatly affect the glare/reflections cast or not cast - but that may have meant you would not have had captured this candid shot of this man reading the paper (assuming that this is not a posed shot). Lastly, show us what the headlines are - if this is a posed shot then their indeed might have been a frontpage headline that catches one by surprise and makes us sing "I read the news today, oh boy!" And even if it was a candid, showing the headline might just by luck relate to the emotion/title/or challenge you are trying to tackle.
