a 366 photo challenge for 2012 - I have joined the friendly crowd at Elements Village on the web and have decided to start at 'A' and follow the 366 themes daily - I like the idea that I will need to take (or make) images that will stretch my skills and imagination - and if I throw in a few extras just for fun - forgive me - OK? Trying to stay focused for a whole year will be a challenge in itself - wish me luck and come and visit anytime...

February 7 - Casual
Casual meals in outdoor cafes are one of the best things about summer - This cafe in Provence was picturesque with flowers and red umbrellas. Plat du jour was a huge bowl of fresh mussels and a basket of bread and we spent an enjoyable afternoon wandering around the town. The sky had washed out in this image - I added a gradient layer at about 30% set to soft light to bring it back.

ReplyDeleteGreat spot to eat and relax,,,,very nice shot and well recovered on the sky
ReplyDeleteLooks so inviting.
ReplyDeleteLovely take on the Casual theme, Jacki. I love sitting at outdoor cafes but don't often get the chance. Gorgeous reds in this shot too. Nicely adjusted.
ReplyDeleteI too would love to be sitting there enjoying the food and the sights, sending postcards saying 'wish you were here'
DeleteWhat makes this particularly attractive to me are all the flashes of red. My eye jumps from one to another, delighting in the rich tones.
ReplyDeleteWonderful for the theme and a wonderful photo as well, makes you want to give it a visit.
