Very colorful shot; however the 6 electric lights cancel the colorful effect. I would crop these then unfortunately the picture will be incomplete. (Jean-Pierre)

Hi Tai
Brilliant and warm color effect. With such slow speed (1/20s) and moreover handheld, you got it right with good sharpness and clarity.
A very colorful and busy outing shot.
Well done, Tai.

Beautiful photo, Tai, it just radiates with the atmosphere and ambience of this market. Also a very appetizing content, it is easy to understand why so many folks would want to purchase something at this food stall. Nice handling of the exposure to convey the atmosphere with the variety of lights.

Hi Tai

I like the warm, ambient colors in this lively market scene. Good daily life shot with acceptable sharpness & excellent lighting & compo.

Nice street scene of this market atmosphere. It's a great interaction between the two sides. It looks like vendors and buyers exchanging words and money across the food of the stall. The lighting looks good and the slow speed adds to the scene by adding that motion blur in there to help with the feel of exchanging going on in a loud environment.

Very good job done in this one Tai. I like the low pov and the very warm light. Good background for all the details included. Very good job at 1/20 sec. shutter.

A good pasar malam (night market) shot, Tai, and you've achieved reasonable sharpness given the 1/20 exposure and movement. When taking these shots, try to go for a higher POV by standing on something, or even holding the camera above your head - that enables you to avoid getting the electric lights in the composition which are always blown out. Cheers . . . David

PS: Are you sure this was taken in Little India? You could well be right, but it just seems strange that all the people buying food are Malays and all the food is Malay snackfood. Normally you see more Indians and Indian food in Little India.
