Fish Market Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The food in Sicily is fantastic, with the locals having a lot of pride in their local produce. Fresh produce markets are a regular feature of the towns selling local specialities.

In Syracuse in the south west of sicilly, fish feature prominently in the markets and this shot of a fish stall not only shows the quality and freshness of the produce but the care they take in its display as well.

The brightness levels were altered in Photoshop to heighten the contrast and bring out the silver sheen of the fish.

Interesting way to present the fish - looks like a bunch of flowers. Well seen.

Funny that nobody gave you a smiley face for this. I'd have given you a big one if we hadn't agreed to not rate each others.

Sharp and clear view, Jonathan! :-) I usually am not a great fan of fish markets, but I have to admit that your tight framing of the fan-set fish makes it look quite nice. Well done!
