CC CLub here!!

This looks like it would be a very busy place!

1st Impression is my eye is going straight to the the blue hand cart. I would crop out the cart, I know it takes away from from o the scene, but you still get the impression of a very busy and long narrow market place. Also n doing this, you will cut out some of the blown out lights you have on the left hand side. I see that you ISO was 400, I would have chosen a fast shutter speed for this indoor shot as it could be a little sharper, or you could have bumped up the ISO. You will get more grain with this though.

In the post processing time, some sharpening would have gone a long way with this shot, a little more contrast would have helped with the depth of your items that are on each side. Your horizon is a little tilted as well, this can be straightened out a touch.

Overall, a good shot, I can't wait to see more from you

No people in the foreground gives this the feeling of being a huge market place. Well captured.

Such a good market area, may have been more effective during a busy time.
