The 'Fish-mine', a large fish market, where early in the morning the fresh North-Sea fish is sold to the fish retailers. They sell the fish on to the restaurants all over Belgium. The Ostend fishermen fish on the North Sea, as far as the waters around Iceland. Built in 1934 Destroyed by war between 1940-1945 Rebuilt in 1949-1951 Exhibition of "Visscherskoppen" by photographer Stephan Vanfleteren. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw8RlxzWJkA (in Ostend dialect, that's flemish, not dutch, not french)

I would like to give you a ten for your story. There just isn't much awe in this one. Thanks for sharing.

I believe that this photo is perfect. It is rich in details, although a dark place. also pictures in the photo are a very original idea. I imagine this place crowded with vendors and the comings and goings of trucks and vans!

nice treatment for a single raw. but a little dark. for these sort a place, a "multiple raw shoot" seems more efficient.

It IS a dark place, like gere72 says, and I like to keep my HDR pictures as realistic as possible. But perhaps multple exposures would've been better for that, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

Probably a dark place on purpose to keep the fish cool during summer.

Great image! But I prefer multiple exposures in HDR. Iยดm sorry but single RAW is no "real HDR" for me :-) Otherwise 10 :-))

@ruhri: I agree, a single exposure RAW isn't really HDR, although much depends on the Dynamic Range of the camera itself. I've found it amazing how much is present, yet unvisible to the naked eye, in a RAW picture.
