Hi, Dot,
I find this fascinating. It is wonderful to be a scan and from such a long time ago. I love the light and you still have amazing detail. I like the diagonal line of the counter and it is well composed. I might have cropped a bit of the person on the right out and cloned out the hand, but this is still a great shot. Very well done! Many thanks and warmest regards,
Shelly

hi Dot

I think this definitely shows 1982 with the faded look. It is actually interesting to see how as photographer you were fascinated by the dough nut maker. I believe this long dough is what we are all familiar with, even in Malaysia sold by not justice Chinese traders, but Malays are now learning the trick and making/selling them too. They are a little salty and is best served with coffee or white milked tea, not really good with black tea.

Hi Dot.
This is great. In Mandarin, these are called "you tiao", which literally means "oil stick". Sometimes, older men are referred to as "lao you tiao"--"old oil stick". It's not a compliment--the equivalent meaning in English might be something like "slimy".
As to your cropping dilemma, I like it fine the way it is, but if you cropped it as a portrait rather than a landscape, you could really focus attention on the cook.
