Traffic? What traffic! Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken in Accra, Ghana on a footbridge over a main route into town. I just love the fact that a whole lane of traffic is taken up by sellers. The lead out lines of the sellers and tro-tros are my favourite part of the image. What do you think?

Hi James,
That's an interesting photo - I love daily life shots from places that are not rarely visited by tourists.
One quick note - a photo such as this one, with many details and subjects should be posted in bigger size. Also try applying "auto-levels" option in Photoshop (or a corresponding function in another program) I think that will make the photo a bit less flat.
Other than that, good composition and DOF!
Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Boris

Hi James,

i agree with the comment about trying to enhance this image with some post processing...anyway, what the image itself shows is not a scene i could experience every day living here...and it does give a perfect overview on what to expect when visiting Accra...the umbrella in the corner got even some East Asian writting on it...a friend of mine, /female/ went to Ghana on her own...she said, that she felt quite uneasy...cheers, arturo
