[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A typical display in a Korean wet market (this one's in Suwon, I had nothing better to do one Sunday afternoon)

There are two types of Korean food: 1)spicy 2. fiery hot. :)

If your tongue got burned, then it’s spicy. If the burning sensation is followed by involuntary flowing of tears and nasal secretions, then its fiery hot. lol

Even some of their street food looks deceptively harmless because they are not red in color, yet they pack the same punch as the red ones :D

Bon Appetit!

Hi Allan,

An absolute apetizing shot! Lovely colors...

We always say: the hotter the better, but... we have never been in Korea, so... I think we might go easy on that saying now!

Cheers!
Anna

Hi

Man I am sweating as I look at this, I like the angle your photo was taken at, rather than straight on parrallel lines. Lovely colour as well.

Tanx for sharing
PS. and yea like your notes as well. (smile)

Nice food photo, Allan. The dominating red does bring across the spicy theme very well. Composition is good as well. Cheers~

spicy as it can be
good detail photo
the redish tone makes it hotter

warm (!) regards

Hi Allan,
This is a red-hot study. Very nice composition; I like the textures presented and the imagined different grades of heat.
All the best,
Karen
