Photographer’s Note
A small drift away from sunset and sunrise and backwater I posted recently in TE.
Dug up from my archive. Strolling around a Kroger store in Atlanta one lazy evening I came across a variety of fresh fruits and green vegetables beautifully arranged and displayed along with other provisions. Liked the soft ambience, liked the shopper with a bending posture and all the more liked the section hoarding “PRODUCE” befitting the surroundings.

Your series of sunsets was beautiful, Partha, but I like this even more (question of taste - I prefer those subjects personally)...
I think that this photo is both great and informative : the choice of POV and the various lines, the big neon sign (beautiful fonts, but just "Produce" !?) and all the goods displayed, including it seems green bananas on the left...
The young man very busy while chosing is great in the photo : amusing and interesting shot ! (for us out of the US)
TFS, congratulations !
Cath.

Olá Partha, so clean, so calm, so slow, at this hour of the evening. I bet that these last days before Christmas this space will be full all the time. Also, this is quite diferent from the supermarkets in India ;-) I like the graphism here. The lights on the ceiling, the impact of the "PRODUCE" letters, the colorful shelves. The person is a good adition, although it's a bit central in the composition. On top, I would crop just a bit, to remove that colorful element at left. Good shot and change from your last posts.

Hi Partha,
There's definitly something there. I lke the way you included the lights in diagonal and the sign. The guy in the center works as well, just would be nice to have a little more depht and the stand in the center fully showed, which a little step backwards could had helped if you have space for it... The light is well rendered. Intersting subject which kind of reflects the american way of life.
Regards,
Flavia

Hi Partha,
It is a compound well image, there is a good graphical contrast of the signal with its around almost emptily, but fully of vegetable products and fresh fruits. The boy looking at these products he adds a good detail to the photo and breaks this loneliness.
Good lighting.
Best regards,
Josep

Hello Partha,
Good daily life documentary of trade and consumption!
Surprising to see you're able to avoid any customers at all since I presume the guy is one of the staff...
You make well use of available light, sharp fine details and a well composed presentation!
Greetings,

Hi Parthada,
A nice shot of the supermarket. Very sharp and crisp considering that the light must have been low. Striking neon lights captured wonderfully.

It's unusual to see the supermarket so quiet. It's interesting to look at all the pattern and detail, but the lone shopper really makes the shot. Well seen.
