Where to start?
First of all, it wasn't available light, it was with a flash. That's why shirt of the person on the left is so bright - it was the closest thing to the camera (I was using a non-ttl flash on auto).
Second of all, I wish the hand weren't behind the beer cup either.
Third, there is lots of context here, but I'm going to tease you, and not say anything for now, and just let the photo speak for itself.
As far as the angle, well, I was actually "shooting from the hip", as I said in the first post. The camera was down around my belt buckle, the zoom was at 24mm, and I was just pointing in the general direction and shooting.
Glad you found it interesting. Thanks for your thoughts.
More, later.
cheers, frank

Great expression on the boy's face, and I like the angle. The way the table emerges from the bottom of the frame really works for me. I don't like the way the other guy's right hand is hidden. I'm not sure what exactly is going on here, but the concealed hand is a bit disconcerting.
That large expanse of white on the left is a bit distracting, and it would be nice if the boy's jacket didn't disappear into the background. That being said, you did an excellent job with the available light, and that weird metal thing on the wall is pretty cool, too. I just wish I could figure out what the context was. :)
