I placed my camera on a bar stool and took this shot at 1/13s to capture the motion blur of the ceiling fans.....
Fortunately the two customers stayed very still, fully engrossed with their cell phones.

I like this image Fong, beautiful sepia tone and excellent sharpness, very nice composition while you included the motion blur of the ceiling fans, interesting cool mood, no communication, only on the cell phones, I like pictures which tell a story or let the imaginations flow, Thanks for posting your works, I can learn a lot from you, vote, Rosemarie :o)
