Stop, Rest, and have some Coffee. C & C on B & W shot.

I was going to call this a "Street" shot, but that didn't seem to qualify. Marcia and I taking a rest, and something about the angles, the circles (cup and saucer) and the (vague) repetition of shapes with the spoon and shoes caught my eye.

Also, just added a color version for comparison.

In my opinion this is one of those shots that is best served by monochrome rendering.

In the B & W, all three items, the nice legs, the New Balance shoes and the cup of coffee are making up the composition.

Conversely, in the color version, the shoes get all the attention since they have all the contrast and detail - they just don't give the other elements a chance.
