This is so good, I have a lot to say about it.
1. You shot from behind the bar and got a very informal and realistic picture of the people as they actually were.
2. Please shoot a whole series of such shots and gift them to the bar and offer to put them up at your expense, and just ask them to also display your name for credit.
3. Take more images like these and do a show at a local community arts gallery or public library.
4. If you have not been influenced by photographers like Robert Frank and Stephen Shore, it sure looks like it.
5. Keep taking photographs like this!   Posted: 11/04/2024 04:42:46

Hi Marianne! Nice work!!

Well, for the most part my comments echo Steve's ... indeed, this images is more inclined to produce a narrative from the viewer, and hope you follow this particular "Street Photography" path (as opposed to the often less-descriptive) "Street Scene" type compositions, into the future.

See also Gary Winogrand for additional inspiration.   Posted: 11/04/2024 12:38:45

Hi Marianne, very nice image and well done technically. I find it very busy but in this case that is not bad. There is so much to look at and yet my eye keeps going back to the main subject. Well done.   Posted: 11/07/2024 17:17:08

Marianne, I can't add more of what the other have already say. It is a great social photo and I believe the expression of the guy in the foreground is making the image special. The composition is great. It is a crowded space but all people have clear definition and there is no overlap of subjects.

Wonderful work

"Now Mari's a street photographer
Who takes pics of people and sites
She went down to the local in search of some inspo
And her capture got several likes"

This is a really cool photo. As soon as I saw it, it reminded me of Piano Man... especially with the two men at the front.
I think you've captured the scene well, and the facial expressions are worth a thousand words. PLEASE put this in a competition sometime.
