I'm Back

[Cheryl Slechta]

Hi, everyone,

I've been gone for a month traveling in Italy and France but I'm back now. Thanks to Mitch and Hazel for posting while I was gone and hi to Gary - good to see you posting again.

This image was taken at one of the many markets in France. Their selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, etc. is amazing and the prices are much, much less than in the US.

Taken with an iPhone 7 and finished in Nik Analog.

PS - I just posted a not so original theme for December :)

Welcome back. The blue is just right to give this a non-BW look and add interest. Good sharp detail and comp.

Love the presentation of the fish. They remain in a school.

Love the patterns on the skins. I agree with Gary - looks like a school running upstream (mackerel perhaps?). These fish look really fresh, you can see it in the eyes. Amazing quality from the new iPhones! Nice pic!

Hi!
I haven't been on the site in quite some time.
I like the fish! The monochrome works really well. Nice processing and composition.
I thought food was more expensive in Europe?!
I trust you had a great trip!
