I think this photo has a lot of potential, but it's execution wasn't carried out well. Compositionally, I think the picture would be more effective with the bottom third cropped out so that you don't see the stools or the men below their waistes.
As it stands now, the man in the middle of the photo presents mostly as a black blob and merges with the dark areas below. Alot of that would have been ellimated had you cropped out the bottom part of the picture.

Also, it's too bad the man on the right has what appears to be the beer tap coming out of his head. In addition, I find it very distracting that the man on the left has been cut in half and mostly croppped out...You should have included him in his entirety, especially with the man on the right looking his way. Had you been able to change your viewpoint to the left some more, or even to the right, so that you could have included both patrons in their entirety, as well as, the bartender positioned between them. that would be much more interesting to look at.

I don't mean to pick your picture apart, but just provide constructive criticism.

Nice image. This has a journalistic quality and I wonder if B&W might be interesting.

Coming from someone who used to drive tanks for a living (M1-A1) I can undestand your question but I don't think it was the intent of this challenge. Oh wait...I just took a second glance and noticed the ghostley image. Hmmm....interesting. I hope other voters notice it also.

The dots on the left tells me this was shot from outside? Just an observation:) I think this feels very much like nightlife. The perspective I get is checking the crowd out and deciding to go on or sit down. bottom line I feel it. Thanks 9

The row of what looks like Buds (?) really lifts the shot, and the reflection off the door to the right had me puzzled for a while. Nice casual chit chat going on which I think you captured well.

Nicely done, cant help feeling a couple less people in frame would help.

Maybe a tad blury but considering the location a tripod might not have been possible. IMO cropping off the bottom third might add a little more impact. The light on the floor and the reflection of the metal base of the stool is a little distracting to the eye. (7)
