Hello TE, have you ever visited Sabah's Kinabalu National Park where South East Asia's highest mountain summit of 4095m is waiting for you to conquer? Read on.

Kundasang vegetable market stalls, just a row of them, are lined up along the road not far from Kinabalu National Park office, say 30 minutes drive. The Kundasang valley has vegetable farms by KadazanDusun and the local produce is sold wholesale daily at these stalls. Buyers from as far as Brunei and Sarawak come by trucks to collect them at wholesale for distribution. Here is a woman preparing her stall for opening business, on an early misty morning (I composed her at thirds but she suddenly bent forward, and I thought, the posture was nice, so I clicked). Kundasang is now a popular stop for visitors. On a clear day, you will likely see Mount Kinabalu behind the stall.

Thank you for viewing. Regards, Bill

Hello Bill. An unobstrusive and quiet photo. One recognizes the market in the halfdark background. In the center the white dressed young woman with the flowers and plants is located. Well observed and photographically realizes. Best regards, Wolfgang.

A nice shot of daily life, a very busy lady preparing for the day. Beautiful flowers! TFS

Hello,
Very nice compo with her posture and her light coloured clothing stands out well against the darker BG.

For an environmental portrait, I feel that it could be better if the flowers in the FG are in focus. To avoid this, I suppose you can afford a much higher f/stop since the speed was 1/1250 sec!

Something very pleasing about this image Bill. Maybe the lady clad in white with gorgeous flower around her. I am enchanted :-). Excellent vertical format which excellent exposure and pleasant light for rich color. Well done and best regards. Jusni
