Another Saturday, a photo from Malaga, Andalucia

Photographer's Note

Another place - another day!
I had some very fine days in the little village Benarraba in Andalucia some time ago.

A small village with only some 800 inhabitants and this very nice hotel in the outskirt of the village, overlooking the beatiful Andalucien landscape. Each day it was a pleasure, after some trekking, sitting down on the terrace outside the room with a cold beer..

Have a nice day ;-)

Great composition. Nice idea Jack.... works good.
Agreable colors and light.
This place should be very calm and pure. Makes me feel good.
Well done.

A lovely view Jack. It is also amazing that the different levels in the picture all are decently exposed. The insíde of the white wall and the frame of the glass door are some examples of surfaces of that.

Do you need company Jack? This is a nice window/balcony view. The beer is the focal point. Its color stands out. Great shot!

The beer is too centered in your composition ;-) [kidding] What a relaxing scene and view, definitely looks like a place where I'd like to be right now. Beautiful combination of lines and arcs, opening up to a grand landscape. Very well captured, Jack.

great framing here, I like the outside, very mountainy and I would love ot be sipping on that beer whilst absorbing the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Maybe a tighter crop off the top and bottom would make this picture even better?

I WANT THAT BEER AND I WANT TO DRINK IN THAT CHAIR :)

Great place to take a beer i can listen the little birds.

Well done and have a nice weekend

Looking to his beer, Jack
realy nice composition, good light from dark to light, very nice good job.

Very week-end theme today Jack! :-)
Good perspective from the windows and such a lovely light falling from outside. The branches and greenery make a wonderful framing. Very well done!
ps: hehe, forgot to say something about the beer but almost everybody comment it already..;-P

It seems that every day that ends here will turn out fine! I like the double framing (the door & the romanesque windows as frame) and as Ebbe says, it's no mean feat that you exposed this so well under the complex lighting conditions. Very well seen & done Jack.

How I love those Andalucian villages. A very quiet and pleasant shot, Jack. I like the view through the windows. I wonder why there's only one one beer on the table, Jack?

Une photo qui me rappelle certaine photo de magazine, j'aime bien ce constraste de forme et de couleur entre le mur et le contre jours des portes.
La profondeur de champ est très bonne .

Wonderful scene here, Jack!
I really want to sit there and enjoy the place, It seems to be a very nice place to relax and enjoy the view. The soften light is also great. Very nice photo

rabani (9645) 2004-05-27 21:21

Thanks Jack for this visual idea. This weekend I am going to do just that. Find a resort or a place to view, over a glass of beer and enjoy the scenery. Looking at your photo, not only informed but encouraged as well.

Great composition! Since the borders (the door) until the forest are almost on focus. The beer on table seems to say "hey, there is someone coming here soon to enjoy the view and relax." Plus, most of colors are very light, but the beer on the shadow is the most colorful object. Great job!

Very beautiful composition and light. It's not easy to equilibrate exposure indoor and outdoor but you succeed. I would like to seat there but not with a beer !

Cosy view, Jack!
Thank you for joining us on 19 March taking photos simultaniously in different countries.
By the way, here is the new idea. On 1 April, we are going to photograph exactly at 20:00 (8 pm) of everyone's local time. I wonder what we will have now! Please see the details in my intro! Be with us this time again!

...and what a Saturday it must've been, Jack.
I envision myself, sitting there for hours, in the company of smart people, and not to say a single, bloody word for not to spoil the beauty of the silent mountains out there.
