Flower Seller

6AM - Flower/vegetable wholesale Market high in the hills of the

island of Bali/Indonesia.

Lovely soft and varied colours. Very nice shot.

Nice composition!! It gives incredible prominence to flowers. Nice and equilibrated tone colors. Wonderful!

A little soft but good composition.

Great shot, good composition and background

A wee bit softer than I like but very well done. Great colors and well composed.

like a painting ! very nice.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments.

Audrey I really liked the light and the softness. It reminded of the old style "studio" travel photos done in autochrome(I think). I took a liberty and changed it further to that sytle(IMHO), if you want I will delete it straight away. Louis

Hello Louis, thank you very much for going to the trouble of showing me another way - sometimes one can get too close that one doesn't see any other ways!

I do like your version of the crop here, but her face has somehow lost the morning sun shine? I remember feeling lucky getting her standing looking straight into the new morning sun, which gave her whole front that golden glow.

Please don't delete this, its nice to have your version.

Thank you again for time spent on it.

Audrey

PS - I have another one (of the same time) of a vegetable bearer, which I'll put up another time, look forward to your comments.

this is a nice street scene. well done.

I really like the way the flower catch my eyes. It is because of colors - yellows strikes when they are sourronded by this earthy looking things. Regards PK.

This is top rank travel photography. You hit a grand slam with this one.

Great!

 

 

To each and everyone for your really kind comments and improvement tips.

Although it has already been said, my first reaction was this is like a painting! I love the bright colors and soft light. For me, it is not too soft. I think that is what gives it, its subtle impact.

a little out of focus but nice colours. I might have croped it tighter to the left.

but the photo in all is astounding. reminds me of a nevada weir! so captures the moment! the flowers against the grey,abundance and poverty, composition, subject and light(!) all wonderful.

This picture is great, especially the colors. I would suggest to revisit the DOF...

I revisit my comment and add that my job was quickly done but probably narrow DOF will help the character to appear less soft.

Thank you Rebecca, ken, Jody and Jacques for your very kind feed backs.

This image could and should be sharper, but its the usual me of 'don't want to carry a tripod' then later wish that I had.

 

Jacques, your idea of adding a slight blur to the background is a good idea. It'll certainly soften the busy background. I'll give it a try on my tiff copy. Thank you for taking the time.
