The reason I decided to give the title The Best Restaurant in the world to my photo is because I have founbd no proof at all that there is in fact a better place to eat. I had the most simple and deliscous dinner imaginable there. TRuffle oil, olive oil, wild mushrooms, and truffles tossed in a fresh pasta. There was some wine in play, and one o, the most amazing salads I have ever had. We stumbled across this eatery entirely by luck. The dining room was surounded by frescos painted to honor the family that had the building built how ever many forevers before. It was simply magical. So from Florence to Fenway, I played with shadows and contrast, and then painted the Green Monster, well, green.


So here I go, squeezing in another one just in the nick of time. I was going through some shots that I took on my honeymoon. I'm not sure what I was looking at in the original shot? There was a gentleman wearing a tank top leaning on a railing with a loud no swimming sign reflecting right into the lens to the left, too many power boats, and then there was the arm... It must have been attached to someone, and the fisherman may have added a bit to the shot. Well thanks to the magic of Photoshop, I cropped the guy, railing, and sign out of the picture, I removed a boat or two, and the floating arm is no more. It almost looks like this is what I had tried to capture in the first place.
