    This is certainly an interesting scene.

    If I were you, I would apply some clockwise rotation.

    TFS.

    Certainly a vivid depiction of life in this bustling African town.
    I agree on the rotation suggested.
    The high ISO is evident but perhaps reworking with a different approach to noise reduction can improve overall fine detail. It does look good, just think it can be 'lifted' a litte.
    Also - might benefit from slight boost in midtone contrast?

    Simon,

    I too agree on the need to rotate this somewhat.

    I am having a hard time finding a center of interest here. I think a tighter composition might have been the way to approach this image.

    From a travelog perspective - documenting your journey,etc. - I think it works fine.

    For me, a crop just above the rooflines, eliminating the distracting trucks, but keeping the line of clothing in the amphitheater would improve it. And I think I'd give it a bump in the green channel to make those shrubs and such pop a bit more. It's an interesting picture. I dig it a lot. All kinds of fun things happening. It's almost like playing Where's Waldo. I'd totally call this photo "Where's Waldo" so people would look around. lol
