Davies Chuck Wagon Diner - Lakewood, Colorado

Comment:
Good for including the entire sign and fitting in the horse figure. Could be stronger from a vantage point a bit to the left and closer -- to reduce the impact of the upright pole and to avoid the distracting traffic (if possible without getting run over!).

Different than the typical USA soda fountain counter experience and good choice to use black and white processing.

Good colors and dynamic positioning. Too bad the people seem so disconnected (would rather see several going up the steps, but New York probably doesn't make that easy to capture).

Silver Dollar Diner, Newport News, VA

Comment:
One of my favorites in this challenge. The gleaming black and white conversion fits perfectly with "Silver", the composition is well-planned particularly with camera lower than stand-up height, and including a person lends interest.

Comment:
As a fan of abstracts, I give this a higher score than I'd expect from the rest of the voting crowd. Good for you for following your artistic vision.

In thumbnails, this seemed too far off topic, but in voting, the larger semi-abstract effect is prety interesting.

A&W Root Beer — Harwich Port, Massachusetts

Comment:
The somewhat excessive Topaz-like post processing lends a cartoon sensibility that actually isn't so out of place for the setting. Including so many people is a good choice.

Classic place meeting challeng for content (perhaps not for the title instructions). Camera tilt seems artifical, calling attention to itself rather than making it dynamic (to my eyes) even though adding good diagonal elements. I wonder if a low to high vantage point, like through the eyes of a small child, would be an alternative approach.

Enjoying the glimpses of action inside the place, adding additional interest to a good composition.

Comment:
Good documentary shot but feels static. Perhaps getting closer to allow more diagonal lines while still capturin the essence would enhance.
