Flea-market, a photo from Goa, West

Photographer's Note

That woman coming from the state of Karnataka is selling hammocks at Anjuna flea-market.
This market is a major attraction for people from all the Goan beaches. Tibetan and Kashmiri trader, Gujarati in colourful clothes women and people from Karnataka gather here. You can get anything from a second-hand paperback to a haircut, from jewellery to carvings,T-shirts,sarongs or lungis, spices and almost anything else you can think of. Bargaining is an exciting part of the experience.
Stalls are set up at the market in the morning and remain open until sunset.
Hope You like it...

Another great photo from you, Marilyn. I really like the colors here, and the curved horizontal lines formed by the hammocks. (By coincidence I've been to this same Anjuna market). A very good composition, well done! Regards,
Ryno

Bonjour Marilyn,
Meme si la dame pose la vue est plutot interessante car tres coloree et les courbes des hamacs en arriere plan sont un plus. Par contre je la trouve trop centree cette dame, et l'orientation des personnes en arriere plan les colle au bord du cadre, d'habitude j'aime bien le format vertical mais peut etre qu'ici un format horizontal aurait permis d'include plus de contexte, mais quand on n'a pas participe a l'action c'est difficile a evaluer.
Bonne journee,
Jean-Yves

Plus de couleurs c'est dur, la c'est un regal pour les yeux, une image simple de la vie quotidienne, mais c'est toujours un regal pour les yoeux ce festival de couleurs.

Well composed, nice colors in diffused light, good depth of field. Thanks for sharing.

Bonjour Marilyn,
Un v閞itable festival de couleurs dans cette image ave tous ces hamacs suspendus. La prise de vue est int閞essante, mais je trouve un peu g阯ant ces personnes � l'arri鑢e plan qui distraient un peu le regard. L'id閍l aurait 閠� de photographier avec une profondeur de champ moins importante afin de faire la nettet� sur la femme devant uniquement.
Je te souhaite une bonne journ閑.
Brigitte

Hello Marilyn,
The exposure and PoV are perfect. Beautiful and vibrant color in the scene.....

The vibrancy of all the colours is wonderful. The central position of the lady seems to be causing some comment, but I think it works rather well as she fits into the curve of the background hammocks.

Bonsoir Marilyn.

I like very much the vertical composition and the wide DOF, with all those hammocks on the upper part of the image. It is almost like two photos in one.

The colors are superb.

Have a great weekend,
Amicalement, saludos,
Carlos

Bonjour Marilyn
Cette image est tr鑣 attirante � cause de la diversit� des couleurs transversales et de l'exotisme des costumes.
J'y vois un excellent reportage photographique enrichi par une note explicative fort int閞essante..

Hi Marylin,
You really got a variety of good scenes in this market. I liked this one that brings such beautiful and intense colors from the women clothes and also from the hammocks that are also forming colorful arcs. Great POV and good contrast.
Take care
Ricardo

riclopes (35577) 2006-05-26 3:32

Bonjour Marilyn,
Although I find your last post interesting with an atractive example of the Portuguese architecture, this one attracts me more. Markets are a fantastic place to know the true culture of a country and it's allways a must in my trips. I really have to post several photos that I have, even if not in the best quality...
Anyway, this is a marvellous composition, so full of colours and with a lovely atmosphere. I specially like the backstage of the scene, with the people and those colourful hammocks providing dynamism to the composition and a wonderful graphic background. Excellent one!
Merci,
Amiti閟,
Ricardo

Hi Marilyn,

I like it a lot. First of all the colours...there are so many of them - and I like how the woman brakes the horizontal lines of the hanging hammocks.

So you live there......does that mean that it's possible to "order" a subject :O) If so then I would LOVE to see a close up of one of the many beautiful Indian women :O)

:) Tina

keribar (43841) 2006-06-08 23:21

Suuuperbe ! Marylin,

J'aime beaucoup tout cette palette de hamacs color閟 que tu as su si bien disposer horizontalement. Belle lumi鑢e et cadrage impeccable -

Beautiful portrait Marilyn, with excellent focus and nice expression of the lady. The colourful background adds a lot to the final result that is simply excellent. Well done!

Hi Marilyn,
This is another wow! I love the colors and crispness of this shot. Danilo

Nice shot here, Marilyn.. I like the POV and the colors are really good too. Well done! Regards, Doug

lestans (17258) 2006-09-05 13:48

Ciao Marilyn!
A lovely composition of many colors, and an interesting everyday scene!

I like the group of people looking to leftside, and the lady in the middle of the picture, looking at you, with the background of her colored stuff.

Brava!

Livia

Hi Marilyn

Wonderful colours and nice compo. The sharpness is perfect and framing. Great pov.

Angshu (56760) 2007-06-14 23:50

Bonjour Marilyn
A good portrait with lots of colours. The hammocks also provide good graphism with their curves. I'm OK with the central positioning of the subject here, primarily because of the hammocks
Regards
Angshu

J'aime bien celle-ci aussi.
Ah, je ne t'ai pas dit: je n'aime pas le nouveau design de TE. L'organizateur a privilegie ses publicites a cote droite et nos images servent pour decorer ces pubs. Il s'amuse aussi en effacant les images. Mon experience est terrible. Mais, je reste pour les amities. C'est precieux.

Amicalement a toi

Branko
