This is a very good photo. I love the sharp focus/detail of her wares.

It seems as though the colors are muted except for the woman's blue shirt. You might do well to bring out the color of the grilled bananas and make them look as good as your description boasts.

Nicely lit and very clear - good pp work to get this look.
Plus, the subject matter is great!

This looks like my kind of desert. Your high POV is unusual and it works particularly well for a different view. We can also see the bananas clearly. Well done

Hi Albert,it's true there is something very peculiar about the colors here. Wonder where that comes from. Other than that, I like the whole shot, composition-wise.

Hi Albert,
The nice high POV is very effective to show the merchandise and it's also favorable to the lady, whose open smile feels the whole image.
