Hi Colin

Love the colour but miss the faces... eye contact would make this so much stronger IMHO, but appreciate you may then not have been able to get the flower in frame and still achieve that. As it I would crop the dark blob (OOF person) from the LLHC as I find it too distracting. I like that you are posting travel scenes.. nice change..

regards

Hi,agree with Don regarding cropping from the left up to the man in the white shirts shoulder. The image is really not about the individual people but the buying and handling of flowers so eye contact IMO is for another image.

Agree that the left dark area person is a problem, but also do not see how to crop it without hurting other valuable parts of the image. I don't see that eyes are important either because the focus is the action and the flowers.

Is this better? BTW the photo was taken by holding the camera at full reach overhead and hoping I had aimed straight.

[Dave Mills]

A bit...If it were mine I would go closer to the shoulder of the guy in the white shirt

Hi Colin, a nice scene captured here of the local market...I would crop a bit more from the left so that the out-of-focus scruffy cheek is gone.
