The Street Vendor

For once, a selective color that doesn't irritate me! Has a lovely texture & vibrance while still imparting dichotomistic feelings of loneliness & holiday cheer. Horizon is ever so slightly off, but since I can't give you a 9.5, I'll have to give you a 10.

I'm thinking it might be intentional, but the fact the men here are out of focus bothers me - pushing focus to include the wonderful texture on the wall (or deeper DOF to begin with) would have made this really punch. I would have seriously considered a black & white/duotone on this one. Love the subject & title! << 7 >>

So lovely! :: Wonderful expression & moment :: Focus & exposure are spot on :: A little too much of the fruit, IMHO << 9 >>

Too busy for me :: Feel like an opportunity to single out something spectacular here was missed :: Exposure & WB seem to have slightly missed their marks as well :: Not an awful image though & I often 'get it wrong' here at DPC! << 5 >>

Hmmm... IMHO, would have been better if the framing had been straightened out & the subject slightly more left in the frame. Though they cue me in to location, I'm a bit bothered by the myriad reflections - perhaps a CP would have been useful? Nice initial impact, btw! << 7 >>

Will you buy this?

What a great image & title, reminds me of my trips to Peru. I so wish the seller had more punch - a little sharper/more in focus than what we have here. Exposure seems to be under for him & over for the items forcing my eye to disregard either as important to the composition. I also feel an opportunity was missed to pull some great tones & textures out of this image in post, which may have eliminated the exposure conundrum. Still, I admire the intention & concept here! << 8 >>

Lamb Lady

Interesting - though I'm left wondering exactly what is for sale here :: The tree has such lovely texture that I wish the image had more contrast to show that off :: Nice IR, but ultimately both the lady & the lamb fail to stand out enough, IMO << 6 >>

Compare and contrast.
