Funny that Prash picked this image. I was going to leave you a comment in the Comment or Die thread, and it was going to be on this photo, but I got a phone call and had to abort my intentions.

I really love/d this and gave it a 7 during voting. The title completely conveys the atmosphere of the photo - that last 1/2 hour at a bar or restaurant when the energy closes down. Such a creative take on the challenge and awesome bokeh. Too bad it wasn't appreciated by the majority, but I suppose that makes it even better in a way. Who wants to appeal to the mainstream anyway? :o)

This is an interesting staged shot. It looks like you were going for low key, however I think it is too dark.

Nice idea. I think a lot of people can relate to this.

Comment by Prash:
Totally under appreciated IMO. I see great framing, good grey tones, and ample lighting. I just wonder if a little tilt would have helped? I know DPC is used to pretty creamy floral backgrounds when it comes to bokehs, so I salute you for attempting this, mate! Good stuff!

Those feelers look like small coiled springs from this angle--how amazing would that be? extensible feelers!
