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.

  3. Lovely 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.

    1. I too would love to be sitting there enjoying the food and the sights, sending postcards saying 'wish you were here'

  4. What makes this particularly attractive to me are all the flashes of red. My eye jumps from one to another, delighting in the rich tones.
