I love Galoot's entry, it certainly the frantic atmosphere of a grabbed lunch, would look soooo good in mono too!
I will not be entering - as will be off shortly, good luck to all, standards are really good in this comp., will get withdrawal syptoms me thinks!

But then you would lose all that 'zappy' colour

Come on everybody, where are all the entries? I can't believe there's only two of us on here that stop for lunch...

I have something in mind but just need to find the time to take the photograph.

Sadly I have nothing in mind at all whatsoever apart from idea that I can't implement.
It's a good subject but far from easy.

Well it may lack in quantity but it certainly has it's fair share of quality this fortnight - I like all the pictures so far

I'm with you on this Hefty - though hopefully we'll get some more high quality entries before the 6pm deadline.
I’ve just noticed your EXIF Galoot. How did you manage an 8 second exposure? Did you place the camera on a table? Surely you don’t go shopping with a tripod?! (Or you had just bought one and were testing it out!:lol
Mike, that pic of yours is incredibly sharp. Is this a result (alongside the lens, of course) of the 3 flash bursts (I assume so)? If so could you explain how this works.

Flipping heck if that's Malo's lunch break - Black Label!
Dr Mhuni, I think the sharpness of the image is a combination of what seems to be a remarkably good lens, very careful focussing (no focus and recompose for me) but still using the AF with a selective point chosen, a heavy tripod, 3 second delay fired with a remote and I suppose the flash must help.
When I saw the image in Silky at full size I was very impressed with the performance. For sure most of my less than sharp images are down to camera shake. I'm not the steady hand I was 30 years ago.
I also put it through Silky, created a TIFF into Photoshop where I used levels etc. then resized and applied more sharpening before saving to JPEG. So, some of the sharpness is a bit of an illusion I think.

PS I agree the waiter in the background is a really nice touch especially the way he holds the tray. Can't say the giant pancake looks too appealing
