Illusions over a cup of coffee

Comment by kanaj:
I did a little cyberstalking on the cafe here. I was genuinely curious because it looks like the kind of coffee culture venue Elyse and I encountered in Seattle, and coffee is one of my deep loves in life. So when I saw the Munich connection, the visual style was obvious--Barbara to a "T." But I really love the abstraction--the way this is "about" something more ephemeral than a coffee shop, the diners within, or the urban context within which both are situated. It feels like a curated moment from a savored lifestyle.

and try not to sneeze! I like the color and can feel the "stopped" motion.

7 from me.

I love the composition and the colors. If the man's face were a tad bit sharper, it would be an 8.

I seem to have responded stronger to this one than others in this challenge, but I find this to be a compelling abstract that could be an excellent springboard for all kinds of interior design ideas.
