a lovely image, the forced perspective, the angles of his arms, the colours and textures, all just wonderful. plus, i love tanzania, and dimly remember driving through morogoro (we did 15,000k in a small car in 5 weeks...) |

I found this shot very attractive, and much more appealing to me than the blue ribbon of this challenge. Sometimes, I wondered about the votes!
In any events, it is a simple shot, very well framed, wonderful dof (thanks the for the fantastic Nikon 17-55mm lens!), the action is well taken and the atmosphere feels real! That would be a fantastic journalistic photograph.
This picture deserved to be in the top 3 |

Perfect capture of someone in action, doing what they do. He is completely in the moment and you caught him there. |

Really like the point of view on this shop, I just hoped you dont get dinged because there are no fish in site (salting and icing tables is absolutely valid as far as I am concerned for the challenge)
Nice dof and a very striking image |

Thank you for this. He is interacting with his environment and his environmnet defines who is. |

Wicket shot. Only thing is: where is the fish? |
|

I bet you're hearing comments like "where are the fish?" It's a well taken shot but would have been far stronger with some fishies in it. IMO? |

what an excellent pov. i am kinda torn between two choices. (1) his face being in main focus (2) your choice of having his hand and utensil in focus. considering this is an environmental "portrait" challenge, i would prefer the 1st one. i like everything about the photograph, so wont hurt your average score too much, if at all...6 |

meets challenge perfectly, very interesting POV. focus should be rather on his face than on the "tool" |

What kind of lens did you use to make his arms appear so long? |

Definite 10 from me. Great angle and dof. |

Nice action captured with this shot. Wish there was a fish on the table or something similar to match the caption |
