(Main) contests->b/w challenge
This B&W image - taken near the Lake of Veere, Zeeland, The Netherlands - shows some eel fishing nets when drying in the wind. Eel is in some European countries, like Belgium and my country, a delicacy (mostly consumed in a smoked form). For the eel fisherman it's a lucrative business.
It's my weekly entry for the Wednesday B&W challenge.

Interesting shot of these nets Cornelius. Eel is also "beliebt" in Deutschland. I had some Spanish crew members on board and they asked me whether the Germans eat snake meat!! Very good entry for the b/w challenge.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
A unique image Cornelius.It looks especially dramatic in B/w
The nets look a bit like the crayfish nets we have here.
I have tasted eel only once. That was enough :)
It is on my list ready to post on the BWC tomorrow.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
The treatment works perfectly for this one my friend, very, very good! I will pass on trying eel though. Lol! tigs=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Wow those are some nets Mr. C. - One of my favorite sushi rolls has eel in it so I'm familiar with that fish. I like the B&W approach - the nets structure really shows that way.

The hanging nets make for a very artistic presentation, Cornelius. When I lived in Sardinia, the locals would skewer live eel and roast them over hot coals.

Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")

Remember in the dark what God told you in the light.
The nets come together to form a wonderful pattern Cornelius - excellent entry for the B&W!!!!!!!!
