Well, it's not perfect....but as you know I don't shoot a lot of 'permission' profiles... The lighting is always tough in the coffee houses and I went sans tripod on this one. As a result, it's a touch blurry...but perhaps I'm nit-picking.
This young man -really young man - is already a professional in a Viennese coffee institution called Landtmann. This is the same shop as Dinner for one a few days back. He's got many good years ahead of himself...

Stylish shot, thanks!
I remember being there (after standing in line for quite some time, it's always crowded there, ain't it?) having high- class coffee, absolutely fabulous. However, it wasn't this young man serving me. Nice to revisit it with Zoom!

You are just too hard on yourself, the whole photo shows the Stimmung in a typical Wiener Café. That young man, i think is a Kellner Apprentice, and in the hirachy of Kellners i think he is called a Picollo (Spelling?)

I think it's really cool. Not old enough to be a man, but too old to be a boy. You can even make out the beginnings of a moustache. He'll probably look back on this photo in 20 years and be surprised!

I like this portrait, a face between childhood and adult
In black and white, we couldnt tell when this shot has been made, which century.
