Hi Yan
A super shot.
Excellent POV
Lovely colours.
The lone mountain peeping from behind the trees ads a lot of depth to the scene.
Great Job
Take Care

Hey Yan,

I must say. I definitely prefer the photo after the link. This one seems to try to take everything in at the expense of a definite focal point.

My first thought after looking at the photo for a little while was that you really should explore the colors here more. I followed the link (you might want to fix the link by taking out the backslash at the end) to see what else you had taken and was very surprised to find a B/W photo. I must say, I compared your B/W to the original color version and, though they both are very different photos, I'm not sure which one I prefer.

Anyway, back to this one. It looks like you tried to use the woman in the bottom right as a lead in to the rest of the group. I think it would have worked if there was a little bit of something going on in the bottom left. That pile of dirt isn't working for me.

I do agree with Nishant that the mountain in the background is a great detail and does provide a little context to the image. Your colors are great, too. I'm going to have to play with my polarizer sometime.

All in all, I think this is a good snap of the market day and if something could have been done about the uninteresting foreground (I know there wasn't much you could do) this could be a bit better.

Now, that other photo is great.
