===== From tom@ringard.org: A good composition for a nice image (black & white is a good idea). On the other hand, I do not like the too static side of the persons (stiff and immovable). ===== From allen@emailnuts.com: Great peeps ===== From simplepsy@aol.com: Excellent idea. Very well planned and researched. The attention to detail has paid off. Shame about the tangled chest on the man... I think that let you down a little on the technical side. However I look forward to seeing more from you. ===== From rgow@lanset.com: Very nice scene. The B&W contrast seems too high in spots though, particularly on the guy seated on the right. ===== From uglycasanova420@hotmail.com: Well done, characters emphasize the theme very well. ===== From terraform@upnaway.com: I love the greyscale look of this scene, a little more contrast would help make out the finer details. A good placing of the objects and overall composition works very well. Reminds me of the old pictures in an encyclopedia. ===== From emediez@emediez.com: What a charming image! The description is interesting as well as the image. I agree with your note about the figures, -arranging figures is a difficult task. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Nice image. The only suggestion is for the person working at the close table to look like his hands are not just in mid air - if he were holding something or had his hand on something it would have seemd a bit more realistic. ===== From file: Notable for originality ===== From file: nice picture but very static and looks more 2d than 3d. I like the black and white feel but I think a cepia would have been more like the times of this scene. Notable for composition
