Photographer’s Note
Detailed view of Meat & Milk Market. The man on forefront express exactly his job : Waiting hours for customers since all people sell exactly the same products at the same price ... random earnings. The wall has fallen but Ukraine is still a forgotten country where people are searching their way between the communist insurance and the new rude market laws.

I keep coming back to this picture- the subject material intriques me. It reminds me very much of the markets in Malaysia, albeit this one is much brighter.
I however think the gentleman to the right doesn't stand out enough as the subject- there's too much going on for this to be an environmental portrait. He has context and his expression supports your commentary but perhaps a narrower crop to include him, some meat and a weigh machine might refine it a little more. Good basis though. Digital cameras can make niftly little documentary tools.

Eh oui Yves, je visite le marché. Voilà un très chouette cadrage avec la répétition des balances ; le vendeur qui nous regarde apporte aussi de la vie (si on peut dire avec toute cette viande) et la photo est très changée par rapport aux autres. Toujours ce petit pb de netteté.
(une note en belge ou en français serait bienvenue)
