Markets and Bazaars

I love the drama of this image - you feel you're right there in the action. The steam combined with the sunlight really make this a stand out shot - I like the composition too good use of a wide angle lens - excellent work!

I find this picture difficult to view - it's not clear exactly what's happening as there is no information but never the less it's a powerful image. The fast shutter speed has stopped the moment dead - you can't help but feel sorry for the poor animal. Great shot well observed.

So much to look at in this overhead view of a wholesale fish market. I love all the detail - it looks like a scene which probably hasn't changed much over the years. Always great to find an unexpected viewpoint to allow the viewer to really get a sense of life as its happening. The image is nice and sharp throughout and a fast shutter speed has stopped all the action. Great work!

I love this image - it's a real stand out shot capturing this Italian street scene. It's both amusing and intriguing - how has he packed the van with so much produce and will it stay on. The viewer is left wondering what happens next! Well observed - just shows you it always pays to have a camera with you or in this case your phone!

Lovely night time image with a street seller beautifully illuminated by the overhead lighting. It's a simple moment but one that has a timeless quality to it. Vendor and customer exchanging money and goods, in this case roasted chestnuts. Great exposure well captured - excellent work.

Lovely shot - the colours are working really well, the image has a beautifully rich palette - you can almost feel the sunshine. The composition is working well too - I love all the detail, you can get a really good sense of the people and place. Beautifully observed well done.

A very different take on a market theme but beautifully observed. It's not often you get to photograph a subject so close up and without any interaction. The narrow aperture has captured all the detail in all it's colourful glory. Well observed - excellent image.

A great moment well captured - the image has a timeless quality which I love. The market lighting illuminating the smiling women as she handles the silvery fresh wet fish. It's a really excellent example of a reportage image capturing all the action as it happens - the viewer gets to feel like they're really in the moment too. Lovely work well done.

A great image beautifully captured in this night time scene. The young man's face is deep in thought and concentration, beautifully illuminated by the bare light bulbs. I love the stillness of the moment contrasting with the surrounding hubbub of the market. Great observation - excellent work.
