Circles and Arrows (Pointed Shoes and Circular Fruit and Bags)

If I had to point to one photo that is emblematic of a 'sharp eye' in this folder, and one of several in this portfolio, this is that one.

 

I think this photo is entirely 'original'. To the person who posted in a forum that all the photos had been taken before, I am interested if this image has been taken before, and would welcome any image e-mail attachments sent to my attention (e-mail only, please, especially because any such photos likely are to have been published before, and so probably might be eliminated from Photo.net or if a 'link' is posted, it might be 'broken' if the original photo web source is taken down, etc., and I want a permanent record -- if there is one to be had).

These Circular Fruit and Bags and Pointed Shoes are the 'Circles and

Arrows' which comprise the title of this photo, taken in

Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine at a street market.

 

Your ratings and critiques are invited and most welcome; I'm

interested in what you think of this unusual photo, already posted

for a couple of months in a folder comprised of photos for which

almost no critiques have ever been sought. (If you rate harshly or

very negatively, please submit a helpful and constructive

comment/Please share your superior knowledge). Thanks! Enjoy!

John.

I find this photo rather interesting. The roundness of the fruit in contrast with the pointed shoes is pretty obvious and make the picture quite hilarious. You did prove to have a sharp eye!

I almost always smile when I see this particular photograph. It brings some small joy to my heart that I could 'catch' the moment and 'see' what I think few could see. Sometimes, as a photographer you get 'hot' and this afternoon I was 'hot'. I had an 18-year-old companion with me, who looked 14, but was truly bright, and she was just there for the joy of the company -- nothing more and the fun of sharing. We had a wonderful time that day -- never to communicate again. Although she looked like a little girl, she had a giant intellect, and completely understood all the photography I was doing and helped immensely in 'seeing'.
