Hi Kari,
This is a very creative shot ... actually the beer company should buy this from you. I like the sharp reflections and repeating patterns created by the umbrellas and arches. Excellent work! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

I do feel sorry for you with all this hard work. How dreadful to have to drink that terrible beer. ;D
This is a fantastic image. Your DOF and focus are perfect. I love the reflections in the glass table providing that little bit of symmetry in the middle.
Well seen

Hello Kari,

An excellent composition, especially with the reflection of the beer on the table. The DOF is spot on!! And you are right, holidays are tyring, that is why I retired...no more holidays were you count the days that still separate you from your inevitable return to WORK.
Ciao, John

Beer, it's getting to be quite a theme in your recent posts Kari!
I like this one, the reflection gives it a lot of impact, and the gold of the evening light fits well with the colour of the beer.
I'd have liked to have seen the whole of the beer glass reflected, though.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Kari,
Very interesting reflection. It seems the glass is over water. Nice light.

Hi Kari,
a wonderfully sharp, focused, clear and well-composed shot. The POV is terrific and the lighting/color great. I *really* like the reflection in the shiny glass of the table top. Well done!

Terve Kari,
Got the message 5/5, a cold beer is the best thing a photographer can get after a hard shooting day, will experiment it this week end with our Belgian friends ;-)
The table gave you a nice mirror to get interesting reflections here and the facade to the right hints for heat against which this beer will do miracles... Saw your message about july, do you have a precise itinerary yet ?
Have a nice day,
jean-yves

Hi Kari,
Excellent POV that brings the eye across the wonderful terrace full of happy diners all wonderful reflection in your glass table. Wonderful colors and details and I believe the cold beverage will soten the hard days night a bit.

Wow, what a reflection off the table. That is perhaps the cleanest table i have ever seen at a restaurant. The umbrellas are so sharp in the reflection. Did you consider capturing the entire reflection of the beer? I would have liked to see the tip of the pint glass reflected as well. Only a small thing though.

Cheers

Quite a creative composition, Kari, that really conveys the holiday mood. The deep DOF works really well, and the nice warm light is a bonus. Cheers . . . David

Now is is a good one. Nice POV, laying on the table, one beer too many to care about picking the camera up. Color is excellent, if not a bit dark, with the golden yellow hue of a proper beverage. Frosty and perspiring glass, showing us the colder temperature of the main focal point, little bit of foam on top, telling the viewer it is fresh...

Oh yeah, the rest of the photo isn't bad either - the reflection, colors in the background, lighting and composition really provide a nice environment and background for your subject.

Nice work
John

Kari,
that is really not fair to compare this shot with my humble corona one. This shot is vibrant! The reflection on the table gives an interesting twist in the composition besides that the warm colors suggest clearly why a beer is so vital.
