Nice balance of composition, very hometown comfort displayed in this photo. I would have like to have seen it stopped down 1 stop or so to really bring out the saturation of all of the beautiful colors here. well done

    Thanks so very much--helpful advice:) Do you mean bring it in closer, by 1 stop or so? If so; I can do that:)
Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


This reminds me of my own country,India. where I have lived all my life. This is a typical scene in my country too, but for the look of the people.And for the size of the veggies which look unnaturally big!This is an interesting shot. . Fine composition, bright colours and very good light makes this very viewable.

Comment from preston.grindle


good lighting, composition, focus and depth of field. Good initial impact. You don't see these type of events too much anymore. I like the different range of colors and that they're not over saturated and overwelming.

Nice capture here and those green peppers and the nice looking apples really do look great. This is nice and the locals can save money and get some fresh fruits and veggies at cur rate prices.

    Thanks very much for such a friendly and neighborly review--it really is encouraging. If you can find one of these or even farmers market with just vegetables and fruit; go to it--very cheerful:)

    I know people may not believe me, but I've lived a lot of places, and Fairfield and other areas of Birmingham. I went my third grade year in fairfield--don't remember much about the town. Yeah, my husband and family are Bama crazy:) Nice to hear this nice reply.

Comment from cynnocence


The composition of this piece is well done and you've used you available space well. I like the triangular focal points the two men and the baskets or apples. Well done my friend. Cyn
