Portrait of a vegetable seller

I managed to get his attention for a split moment.

Hi Steven,

Great capture, good lighting, no reflections off the glasses and reasonable background.

The only thing is; my eyes are drawn to the bright and/or sharp areas in the lower frame.

Shifting the image down my screen in LiteBox to crudely crops these off and confirms my thoughts, but that is perhaps too harsh - so if mine, I might consider a vignette (to lower the brightness of the corners), pus a blur and burn (to reduce the straight, hard edges of that buckle in both brightness and sharpness).

Hope those thoughts are helpful, Dave

Dave, thanks for your detailed thoughts.

I am trying to figure out about the "brightness" of the buckle in comparison to the brightness at the top of the photo.

Nice shot.

Stephen, I agree with Dave. A good picture can also become a great picture. That is only my opinion.
Cheers Ole
