hi ... nice daily life shot and a typical bazaar pic from india ...

for the photo ... i guess it is a bit too bright ... the lemons at the right side has a huge reflection on them ... there is a bit of distractions at the background ... with stacks of eggs etc. ... probably could have used a different angle ...

thanks for sharing ...

Hi Marilyn,
i actually dont find these egg racks disturbing... i think they fill up an otherwise empty space.. nice catch of the lemon seller..

keep on!

Bonsoir Marilyn,
J'aime bien cette sc鑞e de rue. Elle est tr鑣 naturelle et r関鑜e ce qu'on pourrait voir si on y allait. De plus le mod鑜e se pr阾e vomontiers � la photo et on est tent� de commencer le marchandage, si cela existe...
Amicalement

Bonsoir Marilyn,

I like the composition, because of your POV (that is how a person walking by would see the scene) and the diversity of different elements (limes, bottles, eggs, cans, the stand on the left) which give some idea of chaos proper to these street markets.

The expression of the man is also very well captured and one can think that it would be hard to resist buying his limes.

Regarding the exposure, sharpness, colors and DOF are very good, but there seems to be some excess light on some of the limes (anyway, that is very easy to correct).

Amicalement,
Carlos

I like the way you got the seller to offer the camera some of his limes and he is well placed in your composition. Are they bottles of lime juice he is also selling?

Bonsoir Marilyn,
Ici, point de grandes enseignes lumineuses, de vitrines d閏or閑s, de spots, de lumi鑢es tapageuses, simplement un march� qui, je le suppose, n'a pas chang� depuis des si鑓les.
Une photographie tr鑣 int閞essante et bien r閍lis閑.
Amiti閟.

Bonjour Marylin,
Moi je veux bien et aussi la Corona fraiche qui va avec... J'aime bien le cadrage de la scene, juste un peu trop sec a droite et en bas, par contre les citrons sur la droite il sont pris un coup de chaud, mais l'impression generale me plait.
Bonne journee,
Jean-Yves

Bonjour Marilyn
Une sc鑞e tr鑣 int閞essante sur la vie quotidienne de ce pays.
Cependant j'aurai pris un l間er recul pour ne pas couper le panier de droite et l'avant-plan.
Avec un sujet clair sur un arri鑢e-plan sombre il faut songer � sous exposer l間鑢ement pour obtenir des citrons moins expos閟.
Merci.

Bonjour Marilyn,
int閞essante cette prise, ce monsieur qui nous invite gentiment � acheter ces beaux citrons, tout cela est naturel et on peut sans probl鑝e se mettre � ta place.
Seul petit regret concernant cette composition, le panier de droite un peu coup�, mais le geste du vendeur 閠ait plus important... Alors dans l'action, on ne fait pas toujours attention.
Bien vu
bon WE
Philippe

Hi Marilyn,

What a "fresh" shot :O)

I like this daily life scene - and I like how you have included both the for- and background. A lot of nice details to look at.

:) Tina

Yes, I do, Marilyn! We are just crossing the winter's doors and it will be nice to have some vitamin "C". Can you send it by mail, please? ;-)
Nice captured moment! A kind of moment tourists like us love to live, traveling different places, with different cultures, where different people do simple things and smile!
TFS!
Cheers!
Zeca

Marilyn Chatonnet ,
Colorful shot.
Very common seen in India.
In veg.market you can see this shot too often.
Lemon seller carrying bunch of lemons in hand shouting in loud voice. Very dominating marketing :D

Well, captured shot.
TFS, Shailendra

I like the color of the fruit in contrast with the ground. The man is very natural and gives movement to the shot :-)

Hi Marilyn,
Very nice the daily life scene which you captured.Excellent the colours and the sharpness of your shot,but I think that the lighting is a little bit highter than the normal.I made a workshop,let's you see it.I believe to like it.
