Hi Herb!
Fantastic composition, I love it!
;) Sérgio

Herb,
Ooh, you've really captured a nice moment here. Who knows what he is really thinking about but your composition has put thoughts in his head for us...dreams of traveling to far off lands. Well done...it's an unconventionally beautiful shot.

Cheers
Mark

Herb.
muy buena foto, captaste mas que el diario vivir, un momento decisivo, pues aqui vemos a un vendedor de frio frio mirando un barco gigante que quizas el esta pensando o soñando como dices en tu foto ¨maybe someday...¨
tambien lo vemos a el probando su propia medicina, por que pa´que todos sepan, el frio frio cura, no se que pero cura, es medicinal, mata bichos del estomago, hehehe, de alguna forma lo hace.

bueno Herb.
Peace.

Hi Herb,
I think this is a wonderful photo depicting an everyday life. Quite a contrast from the dreamy shot that we often see. Thanks for showing us a glimpse of life in your country. TFS!

Regards,
Che

Vraiment génial !!!! Cadrage sublime et netteté impeccable.

BRAVO ! Congratulations !

Yves

An addition to your note, Herb. The beverage he is selling is called Frio-frio. Is made of frape ice, which they scratch with a metal piece. The different flavors range from strawberry, called by dominicans 'frambuesa', lime, orange, tamarind, coconut (which is pink), most of them are very sweet and, under 90 degress F, very refreshing.
Thanks for sharing,
Enrique

Hi Herb,
What I really appreciate in this picture is maybe more social than artistic. The message it conveys is quite strong and it is perfectly composed.
Great work.

This is an excellent shot, the vendor in perfect sharpness and the ship off the coast with a misty effect, colors and compo are great. Very good POV. Good title.
Well done Herb

Hi Herb, I've been away from TE for weeks and I am so happy to be back onto your gallery! This one is a great composition, very evocative. As usual, great colors and perfect mastery of the compo. Actually EVERYTHING is in perfect place: half tree, the tilted coke bottles, the road concrete arches echoing the umbrella , the man's legs position, the small orange handkerchief, and the hazy boat in the distance. Great job, Herb. Cheers, --amz
