If I decide to print this, I probably will. It's an easy job. On the other hand, this is a coffee shop, not a studio, so I have mixed feelings about making it too perfect. I wouldn't really call this "high key," because the subjects are well into midrange grey. It's merely backlit, something that I like to play with. And a situation where the better Pentax lenses are superb. Paul ========= I actually find the big bows on the doors very distracting. It would be nice if those areas were white too. Because the window background is "blown" (although well done) the bows become even more prominent against the white/bright light and it almost looks like the picture is all about them. They really jumped out at me. Probably a fiddly point.
I also might trim the left man a bit. Whatever, hope that helps. Marnie aka Doe I'm getting too critical in my old age. ;-)
