Hi,
Shot during my trip to Dubai fruit and vegetable market.Instead of retiring, he wakes up early in the morning and drives early to reach the market.he is from Pakistan-afghan border and like other expatirates send money to his home country by working very hard.

When i shot this man beautiful light had made its presence over his face.I was more aiming on his style/ look and realxed state of mind.On capturing that moment i faced dead end of his vehicle hence forth i thought tighter DOF will not help but might not show his nature of job (match to the title as vegetable Seller)which i wanted to show.I had posted severtal photgraphs on same.They can be found here.
Let me Model
Dont photograph me
Thanks

Great candid shot - my only suggestion would be a tighter DOF to render the background out of focus. You could also blur the background in PhotoShop.

And on top he got a nice smile !
Very well put on scene, not isolated but in his environment with true colors and contrast/shade very balanced. Excellent capture Bharat !

Hi Bharat, the gestures of this man much are signaling, are laugh on its face is perfect. The lighting on this person is very nice, everything sherp and clear. I find this very nice Bharat, and thanks for sharing.

Bharat, a candid and motive picture. I think the highlights at the top detract from the scene though. Nicely done nevertheless. Good expressin on your model.
