Shopping for fish

Comment by tnun:
Even the smallest sons of privilege wear the starched and ironed gleaming white jellaba, if that is the term. A wonderful picture that makes me think of the women who do the sewing, the washing, the starching and ironing and who don't wear white. Do the men buy the fish really? I think of this as an instructive sally into the world of commerce. (Oops, my catarrh is rising). (See how effective your BW tones are?)

Originally posted by Louis: The edge highlighting on the people and the shiny street, and their dark backs, look very cool.

It has that look - like ..."hey I've been there!"
I mean those long shadows after a long day - very cool!

I wish I could read your settings on this one - to know how you got that "slice of focus" in the foreground. I am playing with this sort of stuff.

Oh yes, the fab four. This is great, Deb. Something very down to earth (no pun intended) about wheat and corn in the field. :~)

Even if your not winning the challenges, I can see you are getting pretty good at evaluating your entries before the challenge. That's going in the right direction. Street photography does seem to be one of your forte's, though.

I'm glad to see you beat your expected score but I felt this should have scored higher than your dream score. I imagined a little story about the person who was disappointed because the store was closed. I loved the silhouetted of the person and the highlights of the activity in the store inside. I think signal2noise probably described it best.
