Again Gert, great attention to detail here in your composition. The placement of your subject, the array of clothes. (If i had to nit-pick i would have cropped slightly the top removing the hlaf script in the left hand corner) But a fine detailed scene, and a well managed scan.

Hej Gert,
Lots of details and an abundance of colours. Did the children actually wear such clothes? Surely not the the girl in your previous picture.
An excellent scan.
Regards
Gunnar

Hallo Gert!
A beautiful and - the shop assistant will forgive me - an a bit funny photo! What trendy clothes! A not everyday's scenery and photo as well. By the way, your scan has an amazing quality!
Greetings from Germany!

hejsan Gert,
probably still is the latest fashion for those who dare to defy the religios fundamentalist and their rules in this country.
A fantastic face on the salesman.

Hi Gert!
Wondeful scene, the clothes, the pose of the seller at the door. Very well framed and with nice colours!

Dear Gert,

A lot of unusual and beautiful country on your photo gallery.
This one is very well framed and i like it with the old men and a few showy clothes to sell.
Love his position.
All the best
