Hello Caleb,
These two men should not need long discourses to include itself/understand.
Their complicity seems obvious.
Beautiful scene.

Je reconnais bien là l'ambiance de kashgar et son immense bazar... Encore une fois il est toujours agréable de revoir des photos de cette partie du monde, de fait cela fait partie de mes sensations les plus sensationnelles en voyage....
Je pense aux Tibétains, je pense aux ouïgours... Je pense à ces terres superbes et tourmentées....
En tout cas voilà un judicieux cadrage pour une composition intimiste...
A plus...

Hi Caleb, what a fine juxtaposition of these two men in deep conversation and this very interesting and divers set of artefacts. There's also a certain sense of rhyrhm to be enjoyed here. Very nice.
Best wishes,
Bert

Hi Caleb,
This is really nice. I like the fascinating array of utensils (not that they all look particularly old or handmade though!) and the way the two men are perfectly integrated into the composition. The way the light filters down from the top left is fantastic.

Hi Caleb. I like how the two men are aware of you yet oblivious at the same time, busy with their own preoccupations. The harmony of colour and light is superb and the details are excellent. Great POV.Regards. Klaudio.

The goods are not that different from what I saw in the weekly bazaars of Turkey from where I return, the languages and the culture have much in common despite the huge distance, it's only the faces that look very different and I dream to return there, specially now that Tibet is so much in the news and that nothing is told about that part of China where there have been some protests as well... I like this photo a lot for all what it shows and for the colours and the light on the objects : very interesting, compliments !
Cath.
