Looks like love at first sight for the young customer and the waitress, but the old guys can't get waited on in spite of waving their arms for help. Great shot!

Thanks, Ralph. Afraid not, though. It's Fort Stockton.

I would love to see this in color. I bet the colors would be fantastic.

I confess: I put them side by side and tried to make up my mind. Finally went with the B&W. But here's the color.

I think the color has more snap. Both are very nice.

Both colour & B&W work for me. There is so much going on in this simple scene. The two ladies centre have it for me although the engrosed waitress and the customers is another story. Is that a Nazi salute he is giving or is he explaining how high his hay grows. I like it, it kind of reminds me of the famous bar scene painting of Humphry Bogart, James Dean and Maralyn Monroe.

Thanks, Larry. It was a tough call.

Thanks, SATS. Glad you like them both.

Personally, i favor the B&W version. So much going on; i really enjoyed studying it, and that's kind of surprising for me, given what i normally shoot.
I know this may sound stupid to some of you more seasoned street photographers, but these types of scenes intimidate the photographer in me. I never know how to approach a shot with people in it because i always feel like i'm imposing. Did you just take this one shot before anyone knew a photographer was in the room snapping, or did you take several and they just stayed natural? And (again, probably sounds stupid) but what happens after you take the shot? Does everyone look at you and stop acting naturally? That seems to be what happens to me, so i never dare take another one. Maybe i'm just overthinking this . . . my brain gets in the way of a lot of things!
Also, what lens did you use? It looks pretty wide.

Great shot,Voss. I prefer the color but can see how it would be hard to choose. I would like to hear about your technique.
