The view towards Pret A Manger

Pret A Manger, Nottingham, viewed from across the tram track

One from last month, edited in Rawtherapee and GIMP

Not too sute if I should have square cropped and took out the window to the right of the pillar

A nice sharp shop front

[Daryl O'Hare]

Love the narrative elements!!

[Corinne]

Joli noir et blanc !

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[KWind]

Wonderfully focused B&W!

[Ali P]

Great shot, I agree that cropping might enhance by making us focus on the main window not sneaking a look at the partial window, but then again...

[Dione Giorgio]

Great street shot. I would have cropped it most probably. Looks like the young lady on the left has caught you in the act. Beautiful in b&w.

[Ivan]

Fines street capture, Phil....very human!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Hmm, I guess it wouldn't have been possible to get a complete view in both windows with a 50mm lens, so maybe a crop? You'd get a framed picture of life in the cafe that way.
Whatever, it's a cool slice-of-life street image. I like glimpses of the 'everyday' like this. The expressions and interaction are interesting to a people watcher.

I think I would have cropped it at first glance then thought perhaps the continuation beyond the pillar is good, it makes it more interesting perhaps. Love the different heads along the window.

Great street shot Phil. I can make my mind up about the cropping, i'll have to let you decide.
