Cool post processing here... good detail in the sky, and I liked the slightly desaturated colours.

Neat contrast between the colourful, modern stalls and the old architecture in the background. It's a bit dark for me though.

Interesting buildings in the background. Wish you could lose the light pole, but you've gotta work with what is there...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

good mood, just those darn sharpening halos. imo

 03/14/2009 11:09:16 AM
a bit to dark
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the wide angle. A little more interest or activity in the frame (among the people) might have helped.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 08:06:00 PM
I like the angle and the composition here. It works nicely.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:24:26 PM
I like the partial desat, looks like a bustling market
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The Hemp Store???? Great shot. Major storm coming. I like the muted tones, the old architecture with the modern tarp stripes.

Nice capture, good POV.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:04:50 PM
I like the drama of the sky - works to make the people and stuff seem somehow small - even the looming light post works towards this, which for me, is what makes the image work. 7 may bump later.bump to 8

My kind of picture. Nice capture of a gray day and lots of gems in this one.

Nice street shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 07:39:15 AM
for shots like this, I would have liked the verticals to be fixed during post processing. This is because the tilt does not add to image IMO.

At first, I didn't get it. I thought, "Is this some sort of stupid 'hemp/marijuana' joke?"

BUT. I kept looking. And in the back there, you can see a halo of light surrounding a chapel/synagogue/probably religious building of some sort.

And so you have juxtapositioning.

And it did indeed take a bit of extra looking.

What's clever though is that there is enough general visual interest that your eye wants to keep looking to give the pic the time needed to get that.

Very nicely accomplished. Went from 6 to a 9.

OK, I'm going to go out on a limb here. Cambridge? My girlfriend and I were at this very market (if it's the one I think it is) a month ago.
