A very provocative image. The quality of it is great. I love the true skin tones and the richness of the red in the apple. Well composed as well.

There's something very cool about this photo. It's the combination of that beutiful high contrast black and white, the pose of the man in the foreground, the political overtones of the banner in the background in association with the look of the two men in the back who seem to be locked in quite an intense discussion, and the rest of the surroundings. There's a kind of tension there that runs through everything. Nice work, 10 - lisae

This picture is hard on the eyes because of all the glare-back. It gets in the way of the message - loneliness?

I like the b&w, and i think the glare is effective. The image is not interesting enuf to me to be an effective "candid" 4 sjgleah

Comment by Swashbuckler:
All three men have photo difficulties: the man in foreground is a bit dark and grainy, the man with his back to you has his shirt washed out and the man at the end of the bar moved (blurred). I like this concept, but the above issues are hard to overlook. 7 Swash

That guy looks like he is getting ready to hit you! I know this should be a relaxed laid back place, but the bw and high contrast gives it a tense feeling to me. I like how the bar pulls the eyes from the guy on the left to the guys at the end (at least it does me). karmat

On one hand, the guy in the foreground puts me off from this photo. It seems as if he's posing for the camera. However, I'm more interested in the two people at the end of the bar enjoying a casual conversation with some pints. A nicely framed shot of the guy facing you with the pint in the shot would have definitely worked. I do like that you went with B&W on this as it gives a nostalgic feel overall...
