Photographer’s Note

I tried reducing the high contrast & brightness in APS. Taken in Potters Square, Bhaktapur, a world heritage listed town just outside Kathmandu.

What a great view you have captured. Excellent repetition of the pots. I like how the positions of the people fill the frame. I also like how the people are surrounded by earthy tones.
Very-very well done, Chris.

Evene if I don't thing the quality of the image is good, the composition is really great though. I like the POV, and the overall movement (the scene is quite busy, but the eyes are never dispersed). Well done.

Nice catch of s daily life scenery at this Potters Square. Good compo with a very good angle giving a wide view. Good PP on this one too Chris, brightness and contrast are ok for me here. I just wonder if it would be better by reducing black in greys in selective colour correction tool in PS. Nice scene well catched.

Great capture, Chris! I like the fact that your picture is full of details without giving an impression of being cluttered. The repetitive pattern of pots arranged in lines is simply great and your choice of the wide angle is very good too. Well seen!

Very interesting street scene. I think you did a good job in reducing the brightness but also a bit at the expense of the color range and shades. But the scene more than compensate for it, which still amazes me with so many pots in one location. I'm wondering how they can sell them all...

Well composed and I think you've done a good job reducing the contrast and brightness. The pot theme works well, giving some order to an otherwise busy scene.

This is a very good scene. I like the way you captured them in action. The contrast between the white shirt in one side an dthe colored ones in the other is nicely spotted. Very good Chris.

What a scene, Chris, I don't recall ever having seen something like it. This combines the elements of a graphical impact with a daily life scene that can be seen in many of your shots. I also like the placement of the people in the frame, and how the diagonals from the walkway and the wall enhance the composition. Good capture!

Scan is not perfect, but the repetiotions of the pots and the colorful women clothing make this shot. Very very good shot, Chris.

Another beautiful image, this one with a story to tell. How did I miss this place when I was in Bhaktapur? Too bad the top portion is underexposed. It would be interesting to see the buildings in the background. I hope you took lots more pictures here,because there are many opportunities for stunning patterns and designs.
