Hello Vasilis,
What a beatufully executed shot! The owner (I presume)is just missing a pipe for the picture to be perfect! Great sharpness, perfect casual composition and great management of the artificial light. Love how the taverna side is perfectly fixed up, while the adjoining building is falling apart. The taverna people have even painted a bit of the neigbour's wall, it seems, to make it nicer.
Have a good week, Dasha

Hello Vasilis,
Looks liek a cosy place if you are not looking for a modernish styled place...
Very well presented in a composition where the eye goes from one pleasant detail to the other.

Waw! Vasilis!
this is so fine!
This old taverna is a really interesting place with so many details which attracts our attention. The exposure is perfect and gave you a very good clarity and sharpness. Also the colours are very well balanced in spite of the artificial light. An excellent photo in all aspects!

Best greetings,
Donato

Γεια σου Βασίλη!

Υπέροχη σκηνή, πολύ γραφικό το ταβερνάκι, ωραίο το κάδρο σου και η σύνθεση! Πολύ καλή διαχείριση του δύσκολου φωτισμού!

Καλησπέρα Βασίλη,

απόλαυση να κοιτάει κανείς αυτήν την εξαιρετική σύνθεση σου και φαντάζομαι πως απόλαυση θα ήταν να κάτσει κανείς να πιει και ένα ούζο σε αυτή την παραδοσιακή ταβέρνα-ουζερί! Πολύ όμορφα χρώματα και καταπληκτικός φωτισμός! Συγχαρητήρια!

Καλό βράδυ,
Αντώνης

Hi Vasilis
Nice low light image of this restaurant corner, seems the menu is only for 2 here... The man adds context to the scene.
Have a nice day JY

Βασίλη καλημέρα,
πολύ ωραία η γωνιά αυτή του κάστρου με τον 'μάγειρα' του καταστήματος να περιμένει τους πελάτες.Αν οι πινακίδες με τα μενού, ήταν σε μια άκρη του σκηνικού,ή φυσικά δεν υπήρχαν καθόλου, φαντάζομαι την γωνιά αυτή να είναι χάρμα οφθαλμών για τον φωτογράφο και όχι μόνο.

Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

Kalimera Vasilis.

Excellent use of the light and the composition. That man adds a lot of life and interest to the picture and the white balance is very good too.

Ta leme, file mou.

Hello Vasilis,

The important thing about this image is the fine atmosphere is captured so well!
I can almost feel I'm there, the wonderful light setting works very well...
A fine exposure, with great details 6 colours!

Hi Vasilis

Hahaha, the cook is not real, but is this taverna perhaps a tourist trap??? It looks very inviting how was the food? I hope the real cook knew how to cook! It is a perfect shot of a friendly taverna as I have seen in Greece earlier. Plenty of nice details with a fine color saturation. You used the flash wisely. Well done

best regards
Urs
