Hi Frank ... In general I like this shot very much. Looks like you've cropped it a bit (5:7 ratio rather then the 2:3 ratio of a full frame?). Good for you. It looks like you could crop a bit more without losing the story and sense of place. Loosing a bit off the top (getting rid of the wires and hanging lights, and maybe a bit off the right (don't need all of that OOF person on the right, gotta keep the kid, though) might help strengthen the pic. Opening up the dark and shadow areas a little helps some, imo, as does bringing down the highlights on the chair, the newspaper, and the lights on the back and left wall. Probably the print looks nicer than the displayed JPEG, right? Good work, in any case.
