3/8 from "Italian cafe" series

Please open larger! Any advice, critique and comments appreciated, thanks!

The shot is in itself rich is a broad range of tones which are pleasant to the eyes. the sort of spotlight on the waiter is well observed and captured. but there are some glitches in composition and the angle of view to name a few. first of all, is the components packed in the frame. what are they? passer-byes and a waiter's back to the camera. what is the relation between these components to help the viewer put them together to arrive at your chosen title? nothing. the passer-byes are nowhere in this equation. this is a street shot. the elements within the frame must have some correlation. you may argue that on the street there are a lot of components that can't be neatly brought in to an impeccable close relation with each other. you are true to some degrees, but not in such a close encounter and tight frame. I would instead shoot at an angle to capture something related to this waiter like pavement side tables and certainly looking out on the restaurant or cafe to create an atmosphere to live up to my title.

Arash, I see what you mean and partly agree with you regarding the composition, partly because it's a photo from a series of 8 photos, it's just an episode, not complete scene. It's all about the lights that you mentioned. But I value your opinion, thanks for sharing your point of view! This is why I post photos here, to get a look from different angle, thanks!

i have always loved the hotos shooted in public places, as cafè. and in the series that i just saw, this one is the preferred. and i prefear this exactly for thr close frame. is close, but there is all we need for understand the scene, barman, people, drink, action.
