These people were conversing in a booth across the restaurant from us. They were sitting next to a window, which offered a degree of abstraction through back lighting. I focused on the man, who seems to be patiently listening here as the woman speaks to him. The backlight brings out the soft folds of his shirt, the glint on his jewelry, and outlines his profile with a glow. My 300mm focal length puts the woman into soft focus, but she, too, is softly illuminated. The tin buckets holding their napkins and utensils add a dining context.
