Hi Natalia,
The scene is wonderfull, but the blown sky is hurting the final result. Did you tried B&W?

I like this shot and the movable souk. Great tones and textures and a very old world feel

I like this formally austere composition...apparently unorthodox, the frame combines a good balance of negative and positive spaces, excellent idea to place the man, especially his stark profile, on the right hand side of the frame. Yes, I understand the problem of the featureless sky, but, look, the sky is what it was at that time and so we have a record of that here. It is nicely balanced by the objects on the ground.

Where's the market? Surely that's not the extent of it, just one old van.
I like this; you composed it well, and I like how both the van and the passing man are both pointing out of frame.
While I would have preferred it if the figures in the background stood out a bit more from the bright sky, the massive over-exposure of the sky doesn't bother me.
Cheers,
Ben

Hi Natalia,
It's a pity for the bleached sky here, but again if you go B&W, you'd loose this intensive orange colour of the soil. What I find interesting here is that the scene does not look at all as a market place, since there is no action and everybody is just waiting for something. I like the figure of the man in the foreground who looks disconnected from the others and as if created his own little world.
