I dont go out in the evenings much these days so I myself dont connect this with darkness but dont see this as having a home in Pending either. Different folks will see this shot differently. Concept challenges like these aren't plainly black and white. At first glance this looks like the brighter spot of the room but I can see this does look like a cozy place to relax in at after a hard day at work. Those two there are really something fun. I do really like the shot, it shows humor , which I like most about it. So thanks for sharing it :)
I agree Sue Anne! Personally, I don't go to a bar for a drink in the middle of the day so this implies darkness outside to me. Make mine a Margarita please! CJ
