hello Achim
hope you are doing well at your end
this is an amazing shot with fine tones
must be an evening shot, nice low light
have you left the front tyre of the bike deliberately?

thanks for sharing

regards
Manuj Mehta

Hallo Achim,

schöne Aufnahme, zeigt irgendwie das typisch afrikanische Marktleben, soweit man das als nie dagewesener auch beurteilen kann..

liebe Grüße nach Darmstadt, Bernd

Manuj Mehtha mentions the bike, and it looks kind of distracting for me. The rest is perfect. I have never seen a market like that one. Looks like the lady is selling roots or something like that. An excellent almost monochromatic photo with many details. TFS

hi Achim

As I have brought up your name in Cambodia when meeting siolaw and axiotea of TE, I find it difficult even if I try to forget or ignore your gallery, so I have to come back to see what any mischief you are up to :)) for example riding motorbike without license?

...or cropping out a motorbike here without permission from its owner?

Otherwise, I seem to agree with you that the umbrella or rather the covered dish is a good feature subject with this woman at the market.

Were you buying or just simply shooting? If I were a mafia, I would need you to pay entry fee :)

Very pleasant and soothing color tone of market place to view, and certainly looking very neat and tidy to me, much more than our dirty and messy market place.

Good post.

tfs, bill
