I came across this wonderful bar stuck halfway up this steep hill. The're not daft here, get a thirst on the way up and catch you again on the way back down. This was taken in a place called Golden Beach in Thassos an Island in Greece in July 2005. Cheers Ron.
If I were shooting this shot I'd consider two things, though. 1) Less can be more. I'd not have tried to get the whole place in the frame. That gives it a vacation snapshot look. I think that maybe if you'd cropped the image (or framed it) to show only a corner of the table it maight better have captured the "genius loci" that the bar exudes. 2) I'd have either excluded or cloned out the trash can. It's very ugly and "modern", and it detracts from the atmosphere of the photo.
You've done a super job shooting this one. I like the little path to the left and the way the road angles up. You really feel like you were on a hill. The sky is a bit washed out but I get that a lot in my bright day pics. I still don't know how to avoid that, so I guess I really shouldn't have mentioned it if I can't help you with it. Maybe someone can tell me how to fix this!
But thanx for posting such an interesting and amusing pic! It would be a great place for a nice cold one!
