When you situate yourself behind a person the viewer then advances into his or her mind and body, assuming his, in this case, world. Here I feel his calm watchfulness, slender body at ease, the aromas of fruit and the street. Okay, it's quite subjective, but still it's an opportunity to stretch your imagination and empathy. And okay, this can happen with anyone in an image, but I still think the behind view is naturally compelling.
Here I'm enjoying how the lines of placards and produce extend to an unseen vanishing point. Also the many reds spread throughout the scene. Also, as per your theme of "Food and Eating", the notice taken of the buying of ingredients, an essential stage that makes possible the meal. |
