Challenge 944: City fish
Here's a fish stall on the corner of Norwich market, one evening recently. I'm sure the stallholder would find a regular clientele if he decided to open for night-time sales.

High res is here.

Re: Challenge 944: City fish
I think this rather favours the more literal minded 'make it real' folks like me. I won't be able to have a go until later in the week.

I’m sure you will get a bright idea.
I’ve been working on my idea while walking my woofer.

I remember Norwich, something was for sale around that market at nighttime but it wasn’t fish.

Thanks Loyd - I just noticed the infamous Moose sneak by the rear of the building.

Beautifully done Frank!

Mine took for ever and was far harder than I expected.



For non Brits the man in the foreground is Rick Stein, who is a major TV chef specialising in fish.

Re: Challenge 944: City fish
I would like to make a request to Steve in regards to the two entries by Frank and David in that the works by them should be recognized as exemplary. Therefore, could they not be showcased in one of your upcoming books or publications of what can be done with a dull and uninteresting image.

Re: Challenge 944: City fish
Steve presented us with a very prosaic, simple image and invited us to bring it to life. In one way or another all the entries so far have done just that.

Whilst I am very flattered by your comment Michael, I feel it only fair to point out that "dull and uninteresting" is a subjective reaction and not necessarily an intrinsic quality.
