Hi Itzik. If the cotton candy had been brown, you would have had a nice Rolling Stones song title - but I think in terms of your photo I prefer the pink color of it. Fun framing with the vendor obscured behind the seemingly endless diagonal of his merchandise. Nice colors.

Hello Yitzhak,
This is funny and a must! I like the way and moment you capture. Here no tilt for you, so no WS for nobody and for you is a great picture with a person that carries this Pink sugar wool in a decisive second.

Excelent moment aand capture. For me is a good one and also different!

Congratulations and have a nice weekend.
Fernando

Oh never seen so much of that sticky stuff before ;-) Here around is they produced at the spot - In my former job (back in the 70ies) did I also repair such machines.

Back to the photo - I like the diagonal line and the frame work - some fine mix of colours as well - thanks Yitzhak.

Hi Yitzhak

A good daily life shot, & excellent use of a strong diagonal, as a compositional element. I like the warm / cold opposition, between the blue & pink. Well done!

Hi Yithzak,
Absolutely a colourful picture, also the sharpness and clarity are perfectly, the contrast between the red/rose colour and the blue sky is very nice!
Best Regards,
John.

The cotton candy at an angle really helps add interest to this scene, Yitzhak. I'm not sure the other details do much for it, though. Super clarity and focus, too.

Another clearly outside the standard traveller shot Yitzhak. Fun compo, effectful, well seen detail of this sugar wool.
And for the price - millions of lira, affordable then :)
