[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As we were roaming the Islamic part of Xi'an we came across lots and lots of restaurants and stands in the streets...
A cry that we heard all the time, was: come lady, come look, look... lady, wanna buy??
Over the few weeks that we were there we got so used to the people calling that...

Just cropped a little off the image and made it a bit lighter, coz we took this in the evening.
added some sharpnes, contrast and the frame/text.

Hope you like this!
Cheers,
Anneke

Hi Anneke,one certainly gets a good feel for the daily activities from this image,your composition brings us a view of a large portion of the street which gives us the viewer
an understanding of vendor choices other than the main vendor in the foreground.

scherp. Prachtig,

Hai Anneke,

Mooi straattafereeltje.
Gr, Jacqueline

Hi Anneke
Een heerlijke avond opname
Meet zeer fraaie belichting
Geeft een goed beeld van het daar zijn.
Zo’n zin blijft er dan aanhangen.
Verledenjaar in Vietnam was alles “one dolaaar” op een speciale manier uit gesproken.
Was het iets duur dan kreeg 1 stuk voor 1 $ was het minder 5 of 6 voor 1 $
Maar het bleef dat bedrag. Gewoon grappig en het blijft je altijd bij.

Dag Anneke,

en ik die dacht dat China één van de weinige landen was waar de Islam nog niet was door(of op-)gedrongen was... Ben al blij dat het meisje in het deurgat geen hoofddoek moet dragen. Mooie opname van het dagelijkse leven.

prettig weekend,

Luc.
