>OK, since I find this to be very much less than a good shot, would you (or >anyone) be kind enough to explain what makes it good and why you like it. >I'd like to keep an open mind on this. > Sure. I like the placement of all the subjects, people, bar, walls, shapes etc. I like the colours, some slightly odd hues etc. I like the expression on the main subject's face - looking for a friend / bartender / whatever, the hands clasped with appropriate blur. I like the slightly tilted angle. It all adds up to a good shot - although in a way it's too good - hence it could easily be used by a stock house. If I had half a dozen extras, lighting kit, a whole bar, and an hour, I could maybe come up with a similar shot (and a few dozen others). It would sit nicely in a picture library, and be used for a feature on credit card fraud in the business pages of a Sunday paper. Instead, Juan popped it off in a few seconds. He da man!
