Hi David,
An excellent documentary picture. The man in the middle is excellent sharp and with the slightly blurred background he get the real focus on him. I'm not sure about the composition though, I would have cropped it in a different way to get rid of the half cut head of the man on the left. Anyway still and interesting picture Dave. Never knew the meaning of Dar es Salaam, but after your explanation it makes sense to me.

Hi David,
Very clear and well composed shot, excellent focus too. My only gripe would be that you've cut one of the guy's heads off to the left (although I'm guessing he is one of the ones who didn't want his photo taken, lol). Other than that the colours are nice and rich and the exposure is spot on.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi David,
I like the expression on the face of this man.
He means business!
The others around him are laughing because he was captured by your camera.
A nice spontaneous situation which you succeeded to present to us!
Great lighting and sharpness.
A fabulous presentation.

This worked well, I like the busy, journalistic feeling of the shot. As much as I'm not into black-and-white, I almost wonder if it would have worked well in this instance?

Hey, nice one David! Great documentary shot and interesting note (did you get your shoes cleaned up?).
Great focus on this guy, good detail on his clothing and skin.
Looks like an interesting place.
