The Sweet Fruit of China Photo

Photographer’s Note

Calling out - fresh fruit - she rides the street. A full double basket - weighted down. Perhaps by days end she is very tired, but then her load should be less. Thus moves within the street of Zhangzhou in south China. To me she passes a shy smile. She is soon on her way. About her morning's work.

Hi David,

This is nice, great timing, but also the pose. It's not real posing i think, she just had a spare second for you and i love her smile and the way she looks at you. Crop and framing works very good, also the neutral colours, soft, but show wonderful the mood you were trying to catch.
Great daily life shot with a nice note to it...

Regards,

Henk

Great capture here of this charming woman on her bike full of fruits. Just a very classic scene and moment...and the quiet smile she is giving you really makes the photo complete. Very nicely done.

Hi David,
Interesting composition to show a lively shoot, good capture to the hawker carring her goods with bicycle, their clothes also popular to see and wear by my country Chinese community, thanks for sharing.

Hello again, David,
I always enjoy a lot your "street photos" of daily life wherever you take them! They are always like mini-stories the plot of which we can continue ourselves if we bother to think and imagine...
Excellent capture! I like the lady's smile - and the composition of this photo :)
Warm regards,
Elena

Hola:
Sin duda una perfecta imagen de la china que nos imaginamos, el tipico gorro y la bicicleta para el transporte ecologico.

Un saludo desde España:
