Taken a long time ago, while re-studing old shots I found this one. I really like it because it tells us different stories in the same picturesque environment... the two girls speaking, the barman and his friends, the other group of guys... other stories not involve human beings, like the stickers in the door, the painting in the column... I also liked to light of that day... I wanted to get the mood of this wonderful place as well as try to draw the stories of different people happening in the same place...
I like that easy-going café atmosphere. Strolling through historic cities, sitting down for a cup of coffee and just enjoying the weather is something I like to do, and this photo reminds me of that.
Where the photo has fallen short in my opinion is the decisive moment factor. The woman on the left has closed eyes, which makes her look like she's totally bored by what the other woman is saying. Then there are the two guys on the right, of whom we can't see the faces. I think waiting for a moment when we can see everyone clearly would enhance the sense of communication and of people enjoying themselves.
I like how you framed the photo on the sides, symetrically using the two columns. The bottom edge, however, should have been lower. I know the woman's toes don't have much to do with the mood, but in the photograph it tends to distract.
