[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In port at Nassau, and rushing to keep up with the excursion leader taking us to another boat for the stingray feeding adventure, I just swung and shot, almost over my shoulder, to catch this one. It struck me as amazing that this man had a very small boat, no life jacket in sight, and he managed to dive for and offer for sale some beautiful samples. Here he is bargaining with a curious tourist. His face is in deep shadow here, but as I approached him, I saw that he had a wide face with expressive eyes. I wish I had had more time to shoot an buy some of his wares.

PP work--crop, size, and sharpen for TL. I tried adjusting the gamma levels to pull some feature from his face, but it didn't look natural, so I left it as is.

Nice photo and nice to show the merchants

Josine

Nice and detailed photo Karen
Buying these sort of articles can give a lot of troubble these days coming back and passing Customs.
Many are on the forbidden list.
Nevertheless, photographing them can just be as pleasent as you have prooven here .

Nice but little less in quality

Rob

Hi Karen, so many people to not take the time to read the notes. For a pint and shoot remarkable detail. LOvely colour in the shells and the water. A little boat but a relatively powerful motor. TFS,
David

Hello Karen,
Seems like he has quite a variety to offer!
I like the action that is captured, and the strong diagonal adds to the composition...
Greetings,
