[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The bread salesman looks at the hat salesman with a skeptical eye. "There's something different about that guy..."

Taken today at the main bus terminal. the sculptures are a recent addition to the city. The sitting man sculpture recently lost his left shoe, but it was replaced last week. Incidently, the Dominican Republic has more public sculpture per capita than any other country in the world. Many of the sculptures here are done by Dominican sculptors and are magnificent.

Herb, que bien!
que buena foto, parece como si existiera una conversación entre los tres, muy bien, muy graciosa por cierto, veo que tomaste la foto hoy (12).
muy ingeniosa tu fotografia, muy bien.

Hi Herb,

I've just read your introduction. You may be an amateur photographer with an amateur camera but you have created something great out of it. I would have cropped the photo a bit tighter all around. Nevertheless it is a terrific photo and playfully funny. Great observation.

Hello Herb,
Wow..
Excellent one.. very nice colors all around and its so nice to see the vendors relaxing in this kind of environment. The person selling hats is sitting as if he is with his friend. I think he is.. he might be his only companion when only very few are onclined to buy hats.

Its amazing to see the guys blending with the sculptures. The person standing and the one sitting.They give life to the sculptures.

Nicely done - TFS - Vikram

Love this shot, love the almost conversation between the three figures in their postures, they seem to be saying to each other 'Slow day!'. A fantastic sculpture, and being used in a great way, sure to get attention. I have captured a similar sculpture in England, a bench with figures, a bit different but reminiscent.
POV good with the other seller as well.
