Hi BK,
Nice to see you!
Another great research in B&W photo!
I like the pose of this man and the light motion on his hand.
Beautiful clarity and sharpness! Bravo! Annie

hi BK

A very nice TL post to show about the fortune teller on the street and I have seen this along Bencoolen Street but Chinese version.

I seldom see Indian version, definitely none here in Borneo, nor have I seen it in KL.

Great daily life scene and my question remains : are they effective?

tfs, bill

Hi BK

A superb b&w daily life scene from Singapore, with good sharpness & tonal range. I like the slight motion blur of the hand. Have a nice weekend!

很有特式的作品，無論何時觀賞，都會趣味盎然！

I have seen the Idea fortune teller in Hong Kong, the bird will pick up one of the cards for the customer : )

Impressive B&W image.

Regards!
