Hi Achim,

Nice view of the daily-life scene from the Albert Market. The expressions on the face of the woman in the FG (looking into the camera), are very interesting. The market seems to be a big one, lot of people moving around. Sharpness and POV is good.

Thanks for introducing with other cultures.

regards,
Paras Bhalla
