interesting picture about life.
Good choice of color use. And the light that gives a hard effect on some parts.
Good composition too.

Great street shot of daily life. Great sharpness & tones. Aren't medium format camera nice? I do enjoy the ease of the digital, but I really like the quality of the medium formats.

Hello Xu
A wonderful action/Street/Candied shot. The tones are very beautiful. The blur of hammer head is fascinating. Details are very great.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful compo.

Looks like you had fun with the square format! What a vibrant image, with a fascinating light, as if it is coming from all directions. The sharpness is incredible. Excellent work!!!

You are very good at street photography, Koh, probably your strenght. This is no exception. It has captured the movement of the work really well and the concentration on his face. I like the composition & the b&w version. Well done!

Great shot BK,

It is a beautiful shot, it is also sad to see at his age he is still trying to earn a living in a hard way. I like your composition, lighting and colours. Excellent details.

Cheers,
Sweety

Hi,
This is wonderful portrait of a people. First of all I like the sepia colours. The light beam just behind his head and the light reflecting on his hand are very nice elements. Very well composed. It is successful in getting his behaviours while working. Well done and TFS.

Hi BK,
this is an excellent B/W, the contrast is great and the tonal range very nice. Great motion captured with excellent sharpness except for the little motion blur which gives this shot its sense of action. Very well composed.
