This is very under exposed, the exposure could easily be fixed using level in an editing program.

Then bring friends around it.

"Who can hope to unite a people who champion 275 different kinds of cheese?" One might start, I imagine, by serving up this photo; for it represents several of the unique and simple pleasures that are unique to France. It is an extraordinary photo.

I am constantly amazed at how you cast a loving eye on things mere mortals see as mundane and ordinary and then photographically transform them into things almost other-worldly. Is this a thing that can be learned? Does one have to be French to learn it? Or does one just smile, and say 'cheese?'

Cool photo. Would be better if the lighter shades were whitened somewhat

I really like the contrast and levels on this one. And I can just imagine those two arguing moves all day long...
