Jass, the Swiss national card game
On my last visit to my hometown Schuders in the Swiss Alps I went to the Berggasthof Alte Post, the only restaurant in town. People visiting the village were playing Jass (pronounced ˈjas), the Swiss national card game. Many people in the Swiss German speaking part play this game. The game is so widespread that it is regularly featured on radio and television, such as the weekly TV programs of Donnschtig Jass ("Thursday Jass") and Samschtig Jass ("Saturday Jass") on the Swiss national TV. Card games never attracted me personally, I don't even know the rules.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
