I really like this shot. Being there at this exact moment is pretty fortunate. I love how we see all the empty hangers and especially love that she is barefoot. Beautiful black and white work!

Hello Maggie

Thank you for your comments very much appreciated!Yes fortunate indeed! Do you think the image should be cropped a bit off the top?

Hello Antonio

Thank you for your comments they are very much appreciated !

Very minimal adjustments in Lighroom version 3.6

Fill light, contrast,brightness . Good subjects and the "Magic of Light" go a long way!

If it were my very own, I would crop off the white portion that is at the upper left just because it does pull our eye there since it is light; I didn't suggest this as this is layback café and you had not asked for critique, but saying that, I really still like this image for both the quality of the black and white tones and the situation which is so special. It really works and makes for more than just a shot of a window. There are all these little details to look at which helps us build this story in our heads about not only what is in the window but mostly about this girl who is going to create something for tomorrow's sidewalk audience. Again, very cool!

Maggie,

Do you refer to the white reflections in the black marble around and above the windows?

Maggie,

Asher

No Asher, not the reflections in the black. At the very top left, we seem to see beyond the top of the store to some empty area that is quite light and brings nothing extra to the image except for pulling my eye. I don't think it is bad, but James asked expressly what I would do so I answered. :)
