The Vivid Unknown (6)

on my way back from Karachi to Quetta, i stopped at a small restaurant for lunch... the flood had destroyed the bridge and i was left with no choice other than to stay for lunch :)

i took out the camera and walked inside, the wooden table's texture appealed to me and so did the position of the plates and the shreds of tomatoes and onion :)

this is how i framed it, i was using iso 800 and this is the original composition :) no crop no fancy stuff :)

i tried a black and white version, but upon tweaking the colors and contrast, ended up liking this one more :) an aperture of 2.8 was used for this shot to keep the table and its contents in focus while throwing the floor out of focus :)

though the restaurant looked messy, the food they served was very good and the hospitality they showed, was amazing :)

i drove back to karachi after failing to pass through the ravine... the water current was too strong...

let's see what you think :)
