Black and White...Mostly

As of late, I've enjoyed shooting through cafe/diner/coffee shop/bakery windows to get a different perspective on these joints.  My last two...here ...and the first photo here, are a lot less abstract than today's (and focus less on the window), but they all utilize the same method of shooting through the window for a variation on the subject.

I copied my original image and converted the copy to black and white.  I then combined the two images and allowed the color from the second layer (the original) to seep through in certain places....leaving me with this.  

Closed

This little cafe was closed by the time I got to it.  I was hoping that it would be.  It's much nicer when no one is around...that's when you actually notice the soft blues and yellows of the room, and how they perfectly split the cafe into two.  One side warmer colors, one side cooler colors...
