what lens were you using ?
Nice shot.
I'm wondering a little about the bokeh.
What about the being that is relaxing at this table ? Nobody there Perhaps a different crop ?
The shaker and the glass with the sugar need a little more emphasis.
Include a person that sits and enjoys the end of the day or just a hand and a coffee ?
Cheers,

Hi christian. Good question about what was relaxing about this. I guess seeing this photo reminds me of the feeling of relaxation I had when I was sitting with my wife having a hot drink in the evening. However when I took the photo I saw the lonely tables and wanted to capture the 'loneliness' so perhaps the 'relaxing' title isn't really appropriate.
The lens was the 50mm 1.8. One of my favourites

Good comp but the bokeh does look a bit different.
I like the picture overall and think you did well with your compostion and framing..

Nice image Owen... Very pleasing as it is, but I'd be tempted to try a slight crop to the right and top (preserving the 3:2) ratio...
Is that natural bokeh? or layered noise / blur?

Thanks guys. This version I believe had a slight noise added to it, however the image was taken wide open at f/1.8.

You have very good taste. That image has a wonderful atmosphere about it...and the boke is beautiful.
