    Dal Lake Vegetable Market

    There are some 1000 or so houseboats on Dal Lake in Srinigar, Kashmir, India. The vendors show up at dawn and the buyers show up a little bit later. All transactions take place on the water in the small wooden boats; there is no way to sell to people on land. This is definitely not a tourist market.

    Being winter, the items for sale were generally root vegetables and other winter vegetables.

    We were shooting for about an hour, when the weather turned and it started to snow, and the buyers and sellers all disappeared.

    I like this but don't feel it is up to your usual standard Manfred. Are you still away and editing on a laptop ?

    This is a classic case of where a little selective adjustment and cropping could bring the photo more to life, or even a b+w conversion.

    Yes, I am on my laptop and I won't get on my desktop until we get home, which is still over a month in the future. As with all my work, I do a lot of local adjustments, as can be seen from a a screenshot showing all the adjustment layers.
