good idea.
bad quality

Nice idea, but way to grainy. Did you try neatimage on it? Wouldn't fully fix it, but would help.

not in focus

Looks like it was taken with a camera phone! :) The lack of focus and horrible pixielation just doesn't work here. It could be an interesting scene, but I just can't tell. I do like the border though.

Seems like this a tight crop of a big photo. Nice border.

In a coffee shop, perhaps, but with the overall grain and lack of focus, I have given you a low score. Sorry.

Other than the focus issue and all the noise in the image, I believe the angle is not right. The guitarist should be facing you or at least to where you could see there faces. How about just the drums and the drummers hands? Or the guitarists hands and the guitar. Did not need all of them in the image. Just my thought.

There is a lot of artifacts in the background. That is the green and pink colors that are on the wall, which occur when a photo is not sharp to begin with, and in the process of trying to sharpen it, the colors are created. It also may occur in compression. Most likely, an exposure compensation of a few steps up would help to add more light when the picture is taken.

pretty grainy shot. Television very distracting and I would think would distract from session also.

Looks like a cool coffee shop but you probably could have used a tripod. Too blurry.

grainy and blurred.

I like the subject and composition of this photo. the thing that doesn't work for me is the way the color works. this may be intentional, but the colors are blotchy throughout, with the blue based tones appearing as a blue/green blotchy camoflage, and the red based tones appearing as a purple/red blotchy camoflage. coupled with the graininess of the image, i find it detracting from the photo.

Interesting picture. A bit grainy. Maybe a different angle would help to see instruments better.

too fuzzy and where is the coffee

looks more like a rec room to me, for this photo to work I think you need more essence of the coffee shop and a faster shutter speed.

Does anyone follow the challenge topic or can you just add any picture to a challenge even a bad one like this?

This image is very grainy and appears really out of focus. I also can't really see this as a coffee shop or something one would see in a coffee shop, this scene could just as easily be happening anywhere.
