Waiting for customers

I quite liked this shot in colour, of a fish seller waiting for custom in the Fish Market in Dubai

Plenty of context Phil and a good pose - perhaps a slight pity about the loss of his finger tips but that is a relatively minor crit. Good image.

Unusual angle. Works very well to create context. Well-spotted, Phil. I agree that this one works nicely in color - the gentleman's head would probably stand out much less in greyscale. I might try burning the brightly-lit outdoor strip behind him and lightening his face a tad.

By the way, your new lens has arrived.

Thanks John - the disadvantage of quick grabs with a rangefinder style optical viewfinder!

The 55mm f1.4, Lex?

Nice shot, Phil.

The red blob beneath his chin seems to be part of the background, as does the orange at the back of his collar. I would remove them both to allow him to stand out from the background.

Nice shot as always Phil. I wonder if cropping out the guy in the background, image left, would not add a bit to the image by subtraction. My eye tends to follow the red and white headscarf which leads it to the guy in the background...
