The Beat of Life Photo

Photographer’s Note

The amicable and relaxing atmosphere in Hoi An along the central coast of Vietnam is very enjoyable, but it's main feature to me was the market place.
The market is full of life and it's such an enrichment to wander around and take interest in the daily life occupations of the Vietnamese people. Then and only then, you can feel their beat of life.

Nice close up of this woman working along the street. Good mix of colours with the violet shirt of the person creating a good contrast with the green fruit.
Well done!

Hi Sabine, excellent shot.
the POV was really good to see the woman, the colors are really strong and beautiful , and the lady with the typical hat is amazing.
it's a pity that the fruits are completely out of focus.
but is a very beautiful image.
thanks, ciao

Great lively shot of a street vendor! The Vietnameses love to eat their fruit with salt and red pepper. This woman is smashing the hot pepper along with salt. The final product is a pink mixture where you deep the fruit in before every byte. Lovely photo...Kiet

hi Sabine,
this is a very beautifully crafted shot, well framed and well composed. The right hand is showing the motion really well, while the focus is on her, rather than the mouth watering foreground or other things. I really like this pretty image.
thanks for sharing.
