[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The colour and vibration at the market of Hoi An is immensely enjoyable; one could stroll around forever and never get bored.
Everywhere you look you discover a new colour, a new fruit or vegetable and interesting people all around you; you are entertained at full speed.
The concentration of this woman as she was eating little snails was very strong. You see these little things being sold all over the market place (a popular custom for which I passed). I guess that after the hard work they do every day, they just get hungry and want a quick bit to eat.
This is probably the Hoi An version of fast food, but it being a snail, the term slow food seemed more appropriate…

A fantastic composition!! Your detail in the fabric and her hands is beautiful. I only wish I could see the concentration in her face. Well done!

Amitiés

Hi Sabine. Slow food? This was just a topic of discussion on the radio the other day. Well, the photo (that's why we're here, isn't it?), I like how not having her face visible puts the focus and attention on her hands, making something with great concentration, nicely done. The composition is good as well and the colors are brilliant. well done.

I love the vibrant colours you have captured in the fabric she wears. I also like how you get the sense of her concentration even without seeing her face.

Hello Sabine,

I like picture a lot, you didn't show the face of the lady the mood of the picture is very clear. I also like the DOF and the nice color of her dress.

Very witty.
Yes, there is always something to see and photograph in a Vietnamese market but all too often just because of the fact that it is so busy it is hard to take good photos. Or at least set up a good compsotion. Jere you have doen well, the textures of her clothes are wonderful and the colours so vibrant, I like how she doesnt see you and continues with her snails we can imagine her concentrated brow.

Bonjour Sabine,
Superbe photo avec ce chapeau, la couleur bleue et les mains de cette femme. Comme Al, je regrette que le bas de son visage soit si sombre, mais bon, cela permet de mieux nous concentrer sur ses mains et ce qu'elle mange!
Bonne journée.
Brigitte

Bonsoir Sabine,
Une nouvelle photo que j'apprécie beaucoup.
Les couleurs sont belles, très subtiles.
J'aime beaucoup ce détail sur ces mains travailleuses.
Merci pour le partage.

Bonsoir Sabine,

Agreable composition. Ce triangle crée par son chapeau nous amène a visualiser rapidementle fond floue le premier plan relativement nette; J'aime bcp ce bleu.
dommage juste qu'on ne voit pas plus clairement le bas de son visage.
Nous aussi on se concentre sur ces doigts pour voir ce que cette personne mange.
Merci, Al.

Great composition of colors and shapes! The lady's shape grows like a triangle, and her hat is very useful to get a strong structure to the picture.
It is a pity that we find plastic everyway when we are travelling....
Ciao!! Livia

Hello Sabine, this is a wonderfully colourful picture of daily life. The hat is a great feature, making this bright triangle at the top of the frame. Yet underneath all is dark and the woman's face is hidden - there is a sense of mystery as to who we are watching.

Hi Sabine!
what a great picture. I love the way you framed the colorful lady in this shot!
wonderful colors!
Have a nice day
Boaz
