Photographer’s Note

Winter in Dongbei (Northeast of China)
During winter different food comes to the streets, roasted nuts, sweet potato and also these sour tasting berries covered with sugar.
Sometimes you will find them with berries only, sometimes they combine them with mandarin orange, dates or other types of fruit.
This is shot on the street at dawn, the guy had a little oil lamp at his bike stale which gives a nice effect.

bonjour Etienne,
très jolies ces couleurs. La brillance nous attire comme des moustiques sur la lumière :)
Belle profondeur de champ qui laisse juste ce qu'il faut de flou.

bravo

Hi Etienne

-6c to 0c in Seoul today. I like the shallow dof & pov. Good repetition of the shish kabobs with excellent colour & central fg sharpness. I like the warm color combination of red & yellow. Tfs!

Hello Etienne,
It is interesting to see local foods, and I like your capture of these berries. The clear, bright focus in the foreground, combined with the blurred berries in the background make a nice composotion. I like that we can even see the glazed sugar. They look yummy!

Hello Etienne,

They seem delicious. I like your close up capture because this exactly translates all details and stunning colors of them in sharpness. It is excellent with your very informative note. Congratulations. Have a nice Sunday.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

Hello Etienne,
A fine close up of the sour berries 'en brochette'... nice shine and vivid colors, good use of narrow DOF with kebabs progressively blurring.
Cheers
Marilyn

Nice use of DOF to give the shot depth. I like the colors and composition also.

Interesting image - good details, and a good close up shot, tightly focused with a narrow depth of field but that highlights the nuts in the central part of the image.
