Hello Friends in TE.
I was wandering in a narrow street and found a small shop selling spinning tops. The man was very accommodating by showing me how to spin the top because I wasn’t familiar with the one they are using in Melaka. He was kind enough to give me discount for a medium size top.
Adjacent to this shop, I spotted these headless, limbless mannequins in a line that deviates from straightness in a smooth, continuous fashion - with pleasing curves - under the shade of palm roofing - in brilliant colors of beach clothing.
I walked away a happy man with new toy.
Regards.

My New Toy - The Spinning Tops

Bonjour amis dans TE.
J'errais dans une rue étroite et ai repèré un petit magasin vendant les dessus de rotation. L'homme était très serviable par me montrant comment tourner le dessus parce que je n'étais pas familier avec celui qu'ils emploient dans Melaka. Il était assez aimable pour me donner l'escompte pour un dessus de taille moyenne. À côté de ce magasin, j'ai repèré ces mannequins sans tête et limbless faisant la queue sous la nuance de la toiture de paume dans l'habillement brillant de plage de couleurs. J'ai marché loin un homme heureux avec le nouveau jouet.
Respect.

Much creativity here in selecting this view to capture, very nice colors and composition is done well. You cleverly lined up the roof leaves as a top frame. Great exposure and color saturation without over-doing it. The dresses are a cultural design of tropical wear. Good work, Jusni. TFS

cheers, bill

Excelent colour composition.nadir

Hi Jusni,
nice job here, it's somehow humourous too, never seen such a way to display the curves:-), lovely array of strong colors, good linear composition, I like this, and interesting note too!

Hello Jusni,
A simple but very colourful and expressive composition. A good daily life image with great tones and very good clarity. Very well observed and executed.

A vibrant photo, for certain, Jusni, and an interesting bit of local color. The composition sets off your subject well, especially the blue background and the garland above. The foreground shrub establishes the outdoor atmosphere.

-:) Hi Jusni, very good seen composition, I find also a little funny ton here and I like it.
Very good framed and the colors are so nice vivid.
Best wishes.

tomorrow...

hi jusni,
colorful. no one would pay attention to these "models", you bet! but you gave me the idea that such can be as beautiful and as colorful even without Tyra Banks or Iman doning these outfits.
happy holidays.

Hi Jusni,
Well seen and good effect with all these different colours, interesting result.

Hello Jusni,
your daily life scene is quite remarkable, the magenta colour is a little more increased than the usual.

Although +2 points for me for the effort :)

Assalammu'alaikum Jusni, I liked curves and seeing them in bright color, I would say I would be happier just to sit here and admire those curves.I'm much a happy man sitting down here. The primordial attraction of curvilinear sensualness. Now all we need is to fill those fabric with something that moves.

Hi Jusni,
great idea, is original and attractive, very aesthetic. A great combination of colors elegant mixed, is magnificent. I like specially the visual contrast and the different composition.

Hello Jusni. I went through your gallery to find some photo that was eye catching and I found this beauty. This is excellent color capture for certain. I think that in order to make it even stronger I would have cropped the thatched roof and the plant on the right and posted just the mannequins in all their glory and color!

Hello Jusni,

Very creative this shot. The POV could have fallen flat but you have captured it just right.
Colourful vibrant colours with a lot of local colour.
Nice one!
Take care, Joni
