The first thing that strikes me in this capture is the strength and dignity of the older man.  He seems to be challenging the camera with his direct eye contact as well of the body language of his right hand.  I get the feeling that the other fellow is a bit of a hustler - he'll push you to buy something whether you want it or not.  He's not interested in you because you're not going to buy anything.

So you have captured these two not as faceless venders but as two individuals  

This is an excellent street candid, giving us not just a moment in time but a glimpse of two real people  with thoughts, feeling and lives beyond what they do to earn a living.

You have separated them well from the background.  The only thing I wonder about is the fellow in the background that seems to be looking at you as well.  IMHO he intrudes a little - doesn't quite stay in the background where he belongs.

Thisimage is so good it 'MAKES ME WANT TO SHOP' !!!!!!  actually, technically, the DOF is great for when ther is a CROWD around you, and these men seem to work very hard.  A colorful composition that tells a great story..................you always find the 'ones' that have a STORY TO  TELL !

Respectfully yours, Gail(tops from me!!)

The contrast between these drab, somewhat surly men and their bright wares is striking.  The goods are inviting, but I suspect the "customer service" might leave a lot to be desired.

An interesting shot of two street venders. I wonder if they make these bead necklaces themselves. Would they make enough money to survive?

Two different expression & mood in a single frame! Well captured.Here I wish the face of the left person in sharp focus too.

My best regards.
