Photographer’s Note

Another shot from my short series from Donggongon Market, a small town jsut south of the capital of Kota Kinabalu.

I spent a long time playing with the crop here. The original showed much more of the market, and didn't clip the mother, In the end I decided to leave just a little of the background for context, and crop the mother to focus more on the attention of the child. I'd be glad of views on the decision.

Hi Richard,
Nice smart crop to concentrate on this family of mother and two daughters. the older child looks engrossed with whatever they are buying. Good DOF.

Hi Richard
You did a good crop when you dicided put the mon in picture. That crop gave a "set" to the shot.

Hi Richard
I think tight crop must be the best for these kind of shots. Really putting focus on the people included. In that sense the result comes well out, displaying fine details and interactions going on. Nice work
