[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Baoji is considered to be a small city within China with a population of around 800,000, although Baoji is also a small county within Shaanxi Province with an estimated population of 3,000,000.
For more info on street vendors, then please see my previous photo entitled 'Street Food'.

I took this photo whilst having a bite to eat locally on a street where you will find many street vendors all huddled together selling cheap, but tasty food. The light conditions were challenging, and it was hard to find a balance between clarity and correct shutter speed to reduce movement, but this photo I felt was OK.

As ever let me know what you think!

Hi Lee.

Great work here! You have done very well to capture the atmosphere with this picture. This is a very nice scene here. I also like your depth of field as this draws us more into the two men in the forground. Also I fell your composition is just great.

Very good work Lee!

A typical chinese, well captured and well light-managed. Perfect sharpness too. That's very well done.

Great exposure in difficult lighting, a very well capture scene of life in China.

Hi Lee
You brought and used the tripod at the restaurant:) You deserve the smiley for that part alone:)
I really like the light and colors in this one, definitely hard to take a picture like this without your tripod.
Bravo

Hi Lee,

I see that you do like wide screen edition type of photo. Actually it is rather difficult for one to visualize how to compose the photo in such a version but this one surely mean something. The classic view of this photo reminds me of some Chinese movie. The DOF you have compose surely brought the subject out from the rest of the people.

Thank you for sharing such a nice photo.

PS: Have to be shameful of myself even though I am a Chinese I cannot speak nor write in Chinese.
