Restaurant

Shooting a local hotel restaurant today, the owner wanted it to look 'warm' I quite liked this shot with the table as a lead in ...

 

gets home and 'I thought why the heck did I leave those ruddy great napkins there' 

 

can be viewed large

I think the front napkin works well. Nice shot BTW

[Heather]

youve definatly given it a lovely welcoming warm effect, have to agree about those napkins though... very distracting

[NannyFerret]

It does look warm and inviting.

Are the napkins as big as they look?

an embarrassingly 'yes they are' 

[NannyFerret]

The trouble is that things always look a lot smaller in the viewfinder and screen, but you can't be blamed for big napkins that were put there by the proprietor ready for you to shoot the scene.

The HDR processing has added a warmth to the shot that wouldn't have been available otherwise.

I do agree about the napkins, any chance of a re-visit?

[Black Pearl]

Lovely effect.

 

 

If you can go back:

 

Bit wider so you're not cropping the chairs and mirror on the left.

Try for a focus stack to increase the DoF - the napkin might look ok then as it would be sharp.

Either take out the wooden block with the 3 on it or replace it with the highest number to give the impressing that its a good sized place to eat.
