~ hard bargain ~, a photo from Samarkand, East

Photographer's Note

Pomegranate season's in the offering...

Just messing about enjoying a lovely late afternoon sun and quite a delightful setting it was. Here was a stall at Siob market in Samarkand, an ideal place to observe people. was always busy packed with merchants and consumers. The temptation of the beautifully arranged vibrant colour unfolding before my eye was indeed hard to resist, and this was a quick grab to show more context including some customers'interaction with the seller, and of course the surrounding atmosphere

Setting: 18 mm, 1/320 sec, F9, ISO raw 200, 1610 hrs

Hello Abmdsudi,
The pomegranates add some vibrant colour to the scene as well as contributing depth and perspective along the succeeding stalls. Pleasing lively atmosphere.

Hello admdsudi,

Today both of you, pajaran and I uploaded a photo, which shows a king of lane, be it a real road or a road made from fruits. :)
Nice composition anyway.

Best Wishes,
Gy.

Hello Abmdsudi, the vertical presentation works really well with the piles of pomegranates leading the eyes right to the vanishing point.
Love the way that the fruit fill the frame in the fg.
The man is trying really hard to sell them, offering a taster.
Lovely interaction between the seller and the buyers.
Great shot.
Regards Jean.

Hello Abmdsudi,

Good perspective using the lines created by the sides of the fg fruit to add lead in lines. Superb color, sharpness and saturation. The reddish brown fg contrasts nicely with the blue sky. Tfs!

Good timing to capture the pointing finger, Abmdsudi. The colourful triangle at the bottom is great for the composition. But my favourite element is the hearty smile of the old lady top right.

BOnjour Abmdsudi,

Les fruits sont très beaux et ils semblent très bons. C'est pourquoi la négociation est si intense entre les deux hommes. Beau point de vue pour assister aux négociations.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Abmdsudi,
A long line of vividly coloured pomegranates running all over the picture dividing the market in two parts with sellers and buyers on either side.
A very beautiful market scene.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Abmdsudi
reminds me of some photos and scenes I captured in Istanbul.

this is a great visual, it appears the photo is in a V shape, yet its a total rectangle. the lighting is A+, the vertical makes a strong visual impact, and I love pomegranates hahaha
fun and interactive people shot. cheers

Hi Abmdsudi.
The panoramic view of this market, to which the fruit line lined up, contributes to this, I love these pomegranates in the foreground, a fruit that I love to take in salad.
The people in the square, put a good touch vital.
Very beautiful colorful, in a few tones, very attractive.
Good lighting management and superb sharpness.
Very well done. My congratulations.
All the best and have a good start to the week.
Luis.

Hi Abmdsudi

You've choosen the best POV to include the vibrant orange fruits on the stall and the bargain between seller and customer/. Looking at the lady smiling face, it seems they are convinced by the rebate given! You've been unnoticed and the scene is really live.
Cheers
CLODO

Hello Abmdsudi,
This is a terrific marketplace photo. I like the line of stalls filled with colorful produce separating the line of customers from the line of sellers.
