I think the reduced contrast is a plus. Although I've come to think of high contrast as part of your BW style. It can be interesting in situations like this or the lounge songstress.

I like this a lot. It takes a fresh look at a common situation. The
emphasis on the table makes it unique. Yet you've managed to capture
enough of the people to communicate how they're engrossed in
conversation and apparently unaware of you. (Or at least doing a good
job of ignoring you:-). Nice work.

Comments are always welcome.

Thanks, Paul,

Everyone at that coffeeshop is used to me having a camera with me on
Saturday or Sunday mornings, and they don't think twice when or if
they see me take a few shots - so they knew I was there, but have
learned to pretty much ignore me <vbg> - which can be good sometimes.

FWIW, another list member contacted me off-list and mentioned that the
contrast was a bit high.  I've toned it down and downloaded the less
contrastie scan.  Maybe it's a bit more palatable now?  <g>

Anyway, thanks for your thoughts, Paul.

cheers,
frank
