[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I spent two days on Phu Quoc island and spent a lot of time in the fish market in the main town of Duong Dong - the blue plastic sheeting that shaded the sellers gave an almost theatrical light. I took lots of shots and had a great time with the stallholders who couldn't believe I came back to take more photographs of an old plastic sheet.
Cropped to remove some distracting bits from the right hand corner (I think it also improves the angle of the dark blue folds). Auto-adjusted curves and sharpened slightly.

Hello Brian,
A wonderful graphic shot with a splendid turquoise plastic sheet and this seller in the traditional Vietnamese pointed hat. Excellent capture to give enough space to the sheeting and still represent the figure and objects to the right.

Very nice photo...

congratulations!

Even it is just a blue plastic sheeting, it still gives inspiration for some photographers. Original.

Hi Brian,
the diagonal folds in this blue sheet are really fortuitous for your image, it adds an interesting dimension. The woman in semi sillouhette and her stack of baskets is intriguing. A fabulous shot. Keep 'em coming.

Hi Brian,
I like very much your idea and your composition with the lines by the blue plastic.
Well done
A smile
Luca
