The local barber shop in Heho market

Following the style of artist Norman Rockwell I am amused with the

characters in this setting.

This is just great - no more and no less :)

Very nice. Interesting -- have you seen the work of Nicholas Nixon?

catchy colors scattered all over the frame. marvellous activity captured with brilliance. regards!

Alec, this is so great street photo! It has amazing amount of details and a story from everyday life of these people. Very good image!

I love this photo, Ineresting Characters ! 6/7

Excelente imagen de gran belleza, perfecta luz, color, gran encuadre, magnifica composicion, saludos cordiales Alec.

Julio, Chaba, Alpo, Umair, Stefan thanks for the kind comments.

 

Wall, I have visited Nixon's website and his famous work on the Brown sisters. Thanks for the kind comparison.

Alec, the highlight of the image for me is the gentleman in the white tank top looking at you.

Yes Amar, when I peek into the stall four of them were looking at me but the barber was busily clipping away at the kid. I must have looked strange to them but they broke into a laughter when they see their images on the camera's LCD. Technology is great for breaking the ice. ^_^

Alec,very good street-photography.Composition,exposure and colors are very good.

Yes Sircar, a bit busy but sure - everyone is positioned well so I am happy I took the shot.

Documentary image Alec wonderful capture,compliments

 

Best regards Shuki

These people seems very interested in you & your camera. A most natural & nostalgic scene that brings us back to kampong time.

You bring your excellent camera and sharp eye to the everyday. Somehow this picture carried me back to my youth when my mother used to get the clippers out and give haircuts to my brothers and myself. I still remember the old electric clippers and how they would sometimes pull the hair, much to our irritation.

Shuki Dan, Cherlyn, Jack thanks for the reminder. Really brings back the memories of yesteryear, that's why I thought of Norman Rockwell's paintings when I saw their look of wonder in their faces.

(Some) P.N Puritans might have something to say about balance (and that so-called 3rd priciple), i.e. could the pix be cropped at the fringe of the blue cloth, thus making the pix more 'balanced', or is it the other boy and the red and blue/green plastic bags that help 'make' this special photo? Best, asdeb

Hi AS, actually I cropped the image on the left after the wooden beam. It showed the street scene and was too distracting. As said by Alpo, Chaba, Amar and Sircar, the characters made to image interesting and I used them as highlight for the character study.
