Closing Time, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

New York City. The city that never sleeps. While it is true that many places are open late or all night even, many more actually close at a certain time. This particular place was closing at 7:30pm, and I took the lady mopping the floor as a hint that I should finish my meal, and go.

Hi Sam!
Another night scene! It's funny how many details we can see here: the wet and the dry floor,the reflex of the man on the mirror, the decorations (is it already Christmas decorations?. B&W was a great option I think.
Regards, Anabela

Hi Sam,
Superb sharpness and contrast on this NY scene. An effective indoor composition in b&w. Best wishes. Danilo

Hello Sam,
A very typical action illustrating the theme!
Great feeling of depth, nice details in the interior...
Frankly I'm not a fan of black & white but I can live with yours... nice tonews and contrast where contrast should be!
Greetings,

hi sam

long time no see! wow, what a great shot. i love the lines on the floor and how they match the lines on the ceiling. the lanterns break up the lines well too. the reflection of the man in the mirror is awesome. i didn't see him before. hope all is well. take care.

Hi Sam
This is a good daily life shot. The exposure control is very impressive as the highlights are well controlled and the contrast is good. Good reflections off the mirror which give an added interest to the composition and provides an enhanced feeling of width. Good sharpness and nice framing.
