This a road side cafe near Dorking, Surrey. It's got a pretty unique atmosphere.

It's got a real timeless feel. You get the impression it hasn't changed much in the last 50 years. The food is mainly (or only actually) burgers and chips and such like, but all cooked fresh and really tasty.

Being in nice rural part of surrey and on a nice A road makes it a favorite haunt for Bikers. There's tones of snap shots of bikes pinned to notice boards and in frames giving it a homely feel (home of someone who likes bikes).

Edit: Uploaded a less photoshoped version. Think I may have over done it a little on the first. Don't know, what do you think?

Edit 2: I not quite happy with this image, and it's just hit me why. There's no human interest. The shot needs a figure walking through the door, or sat in a window sipping tea....ect....

losalamos666 The blur adds to the image - gives it a pretty unique look to go with the atmosphere.

mugsycat I like the processing. You took an ordinary shot and made it completely interesting.

islasivan I like the first one, the cloud back makes the image interesting. I am not sure if you need a person around, it´s good enough. Sometimes you don´t have to show people... Well, that´s what i think.
