 I am not overly inspired by this but I seem to have captured a moment of total laid back rest. The girl at the centre of the shot makes this, the way she is leaning back, her right arm just hanging by her side a cigarette in her hand. The group standing to the left provide balance, yet they are looking at something in the Arcade but do not show any inclination to move.

I wish I could dodge a burn the centre group to bring them more into play, but as this is basic it will have to stay a wish.

I am still new to working with Black and White, as I normally play with bold colours.
I am sure if this was a school project my old teacher would say, good start next time try harder.

the moment is great..really I don't mind your b & w treatment at all...the biggest problem is too many people wearing white, creating contrast problems..for a candid, well talk to them next time..
nice shot..

Laughing here. Your photo really matches the cliche. The body positions
of the loungers is amazing.

Lovely mood and capture! The drain the the left is a little distracting but that couldnt be helped. Well done!

The angles and the varied and very interesting shapes in this photo are very appealing. Nice B & W.
