I humbly disagree who state that the booth in the foreground shouln't be there.
The overall emptyness of the place and the general sense of age is what makes this photo for me. If you had gone closer in and only gotten the women at the table you would have lost all the character and feel of the setting.
Still a VERY strong photo in my opinion, and one of my favorites from the challenge. |

| this could be a more impacting picture if it was taken from a different angle. But I still like it! |

| I love this unusual composition. You perhaps chose this point-of-view mainly to be discrete, but I think you should claim to have done it deliberately because it makes for a fascinating image with a lot of artistic merit. There will be those who protest that the foreground booth, the chair, the window frames, etc are distracting. Take no notice whatsoever! 9 |

| I love this shot. The B/W does the image justice. Although I would like to see the fourth person at the booth, the picture does well with a downhome feel all it's own. Great Job IMO an 8 |

| Maybe if we could see more ice cream that would have been better? Nice approach to the challenge. |

| Something different, very nice. Like the concept and the B/W. The voyeuristic perspective makes it interesting, but the large area in foreground is a little too much for me. |

I like snapshots, but this is a bit too "snappy" for my liking. If you had moved over just a little bit, we wouldn't have half of the pic taken up with the table and backrest of your booth, instead of your subject.
The black and white works well for this shot. |

| The table/chair is in the way. The placement of the people could be changed... |

I LOVE this one. The Black and White really adds to the feel of this one... I love the booth cutting through the picture, it effectivley removes distraction and provides great contrast to the black of the windows.
The extra chair is a little unsettling, blocking off the women on the left. I wonder if the picture would be better off without it, but at the same time, it does add something too.
If this was an advanced editing challenge I would expect that you'd get rid of the horizontal lines in the near booth (what is that, anyway) and the spot of light (flash?) in the window.
Overall GREAT JOB! |

| the tables in the foreground add nothing to the shot. Looks like a more intimate shot of just their table and hands and faces would have conveyed their tete-a-tete better |

| I like the concept, but I find the one booth a bit overpowering in the front. Your title is dead on though. |

| Focus on the women needs to be sharper. The big white form in the foreground detracts from the shot. Good use of b&w. |

| It's hard to tell they are even eating ice cream... Maybe a closer shot without the bench in the way would help. |
