Let's shop!, a photo from Andhra Pradesh, South

Photographer's Note

A typical scene in the streets around the Charminar in Hyderabad. There are numerous streets lined with bangle shops, saree shops, and pearl shops. It is not uncommon to seem groups of women bargaining for the right price!

Great street scene. There is nobody looking at the camera as they are all so intent on the produce that they are bartering for.

We are in clearence´s time where I live so the title "Let´s shop" is absolutely accurate... Nevertheless I rather would like to be shopping there, between all this women you have portrait so well, picking up the mood of the street with the arc at the background and the always colourfull India. Congratulations and as Claude, I miss India a lot too.

The shot is just a little busy for my taste, and a little soft too. Sorry for the minor quibble, as so many of your shots are spot on Christian...

I like to see those women bairgaining all day in shops like those,it's so funny and colorful. there is just one man on the picture, is he one of those women's husband or the seller ?
I like the way you framed the shot, with the gate on teh side and the man and his bike. very nice image.
