Photographer’s Note
The people of Northern Spain, so I noticed, are much more willing to pose for the unknown photographer than the average westerner. They seem to assume, quite rightly, that their image is desired because it simply is appealing, as opposite to the otherwise often encountered reserve that appears to imply that the photographer will use the image for dubious purposes, or will become incredibly wealthy by selling it at the expenses of the model. The pose of the baker in this image reflects clearly a pleasant pride about himself and his products. I had already bought a piece of corn bread from a different vendor, so I didn't even get to taste the bread.

Hello Roland,
the theme is interesting, the fresh breads (forms and colours both) are nice but somehow the picture is not appealing for me. It is not concentrated enough, the attention is split between the real theme and the (meaningless) background. It is the sharp, bright and from the point of view of the theme irelevant background that weakens the effect hidden in this photo.
Best whishes

Hi Roland,
Seeing this before lunch makes me feel hungry ;) Wonderfully rich picture, both in terms of contents and colours. Good composition and greatly managed light.
Thanks for sharing,
Darek
