Bonsoir Miguel

A good daily life scene of the 2 snack sellers with excellent colour and sharpness although Im not sure if direct flash was the best choice here. If you MUST use flash try putting a tissue of the flash to diffuse the light and avoid hard shadows. Tfs!

Hello Miguel,

I am craving for these snacks. I miss them very much. A nice shot of these friendly vendors who make such tasty snacks. The pooris, chats and other items look mouth watering. They are spicy. For vegetarians like me, these are very good.

Miguel,
I like the two different expressions. There is just enough detail surrounding the couple to make the photo tell a story.

لبخند فروشنده راضی از فروش است.
زندگی و تلاش برای درآمد.
ولی من دوست درم وضوح عکس را یشتر میکردی.
روز خوبی را ارزو میکنم
The smile is satisfied with the sale.
Life and trying to earn.
But I would like to further image clarity of the dermis.
I wish a good day

Hello Miguel,
a lovely picture that gives much information regarding the local snacks and their preparation and is a very nice portrait of two young men who make their living selling snacks. I like very much the clarity, lighting and colours but most of all the way you photographed the two men, capturing their personalities and attitudes which make a great contrast. A very interesting study. Well done and thank you!
All the best,
Ourania
