Great lines. Nice shot! #6142487

I like this very much, Katarina--especially the long line of the tables and chairs and the man's complete attention on the newspaper. I like too the line of napkins (I think they're napkins) on the back tables and wonder why they stop at the point they do and what the little central things are on the other tables. Interesting--and involving for the viewer. #6142805
