I like the bw and clarity of this. The crop is a bit tight on the right, but it works okay, I think

I really like this. The only thing that i would change is the lighting on their faces (Or maybe it is even better this way). The girls face is a little too light and the guys is a little too dark... Not really a complaint, just a thought.

Love the tones in this shot. Beautiful conversion. The image is interesting as a capture of the ordinary moment. I love the expressiona and lighting on her face.

I prefer less border and would love to see this image speak on its own. I'd also like to see the image cropped in on the left to eliminate the dead space and the blurred band. I also think it would help with the balance of the shot.

there is something intimate about this moment you've captured, but I have no idea what. no matter. Your toning is excellent, focus and DOF perfect. Well done, even if it is starbucks. ;P 8 bump.

Lovely coffee house shot which captures well that friends dont have to always be speaking to be communicating and enjoying the comfort of each others company

Looks a little soft and I am not too sure about the colour - It is candid but a tad boring.

Wonderful tones and point of view.

Maybe it's because I have a thing for Starbucks, or a thing for monochrome, but this appeals to me. Love the light and the look on her face, and I like the composition.

Wow - solid shot! B/W tones done incredibly well! I like the blurred cup - depicts the motion here.

if you had cropped portrait format at the door, would be stronger.
