The scent of fish was impossible to ignore.

Mmmm, I can smell it through you photo Brian - the film coped with the lighting rather well, or did you WB after scanning?

Thanks Chris. In Lr I sharpened it. I also adjust exposure a bit, as well as the sliders for Contrast (up a wee bit), Highlights (doon a wee bit), Shadows (up a wee bit), Whites (doon a wee bit), Clarity (up a wee bit), Vibrance (up a wee bit) and Saturation (up a wee bit). I also brought Luminance up (a wee bit). Thanks again Chris. (Feel free to duplicate the above preset.

Excellent Brian and great that you caught the gesture. I love the chart behind him!
I took some shots in teh fish market in Athens the other week. Interestingly there was no smell of fish at all. I'll post some in a few days.

Well, at least it's not your photo that stinks. Nice one, Brian. I like your editing technique!

Great shot Brian. Love the feel.
But...Growing up and now living here in Boston. I must say...anytime I walk into a fish place and it smells...I walk out. Fresh fish does not stink. When I lived in DC people used to tell me all the time that they had great seafood there...except every shop...and many restaurants stunk like rotting fish. I also experienced the same thing that @Pete Askew did in Greece...the good places never stunk.

Thanks, Glenn. I should add though, that this fish market wasn't smelly in a bad way. It was certainly a strong scent of fish that permeated the place, but it was not unpleasant. Nevertheless, I did wonder about the sheer quantity on display and whether they could sell that much on a given day. And if not, what becomes of it and how long can it keep? Maybe I was smelling day old fish? Thanks again, Glenn.

Corker of a shot Brian and yes it really does make me think of the smell of fish (or maybe I just need to wash).

I've just realised what is going on in this picture. It's a bit like the English archers taunting the French with their two finger gesture. He is signalling a rival filleter on the stall facing him showing that he is still in possession of all five!
