This is so close to brilliant. If I could just forgive you for this processing technique (I've seen it somewhere, but I can't recall what it's called I'm sorry ... actually I'm not sorry!), then it would be brilliant. Unreservedly.
It's a really good documentary photograph ... part way between art and reportage, which is a lovely place for a photographer to be! It's certainly far more than a portrait. Yes it reports ΓΆ€“ showing us what's going on here, what they sell, what they communicate to their customers; stuff like that. But it also editorialises, in that it reveals how these guys feel about their business, about themselves, and especially about each other. They're family of course; got to be.
And it reaches beyond just this one shop. By implication it suggests that if these guys can pause for a moment, and can look like this, presumably so could the busy people in all the similar High Street businesses that we take for granted. I could see it as part of a series. In fact it should be.
So, it's too emotional to be journalism; too factual to be art. I like that. Just can't quite love that processing. 9. |

| I find the tone mapping to be too severe for my taste. Otherwise, a good workmanlike photo. |

| WB seems a little odd, but it also seems that this was the result of a look you were trying to achieve. |

| I'm sure some will dislike the heavy processing but to me the picture succeeds in the expressions of the two men. Father/son? Good luck! |

| Really interesting environmental portrait. I have only one small nitpick...it seems to be running slightly downhill to the left. |

| Splendid shot and effect. A bit of more contrast would have been better for me(again a very personal choice). 8. |

| I really like this alot. It may be busy to some, but you've summed up an institution in this shot. I will assume that this is father and son, and this has been a family business for a very long time. I love the "Happy Christmas" sign and the opening and closing notices. They run a well organized and I'm betting well loved shop with many, many regular customers. Nice touch with the editing as well. |
