I didn't even see a thread for this contest. I have a few I could have put in, oh well.

I don't really like any in terms of composing an interesting subject, but I will go for 4 as it is most pleasing to me.

I have something in relation to the subject though, but too bad I didn't attempt on it. It was taken from my cellphone camera... The photo is kinda "sucky" so here it is folks... Of course, the entire image again it is non-photoshoped.



It's untitled though... Taken with my cellphone. Hope you like it. I went with number 4 too.

More of my cellphone pics are all here:

What the hell's wrong with me? Missed 2 straight

I expected to see a crowded cafe scene -- not sure which to vote for.

I'll blame myself for not being active enough on the forum last week for the lack of entries. I put one I never would have entered in anyway to up the number slightly.

I'm afraid I have to agree, the choices aren't as rich this time around as they usually are. (no offence to the photographers though.)

I was really expecting some excellent shots given how easy it would be to simply sit INSIDE the cafe and actually take either candid shots or setup something at your table or a neighbouring table, something like this (but better, I realize my DOF and contrast isn't good.):

I have a photo in the contest and granted it's not the one I wanted to submit but it was the one I had at the time. I really wanted to get more creative with it as well but ran out of time.

Holy smokes, the 2nd win in a row for Boris. Congrats, man.

And LSyd, that photo is very nice. I remember you posting it ages ago in a thread.
