Hi Roger,

Excellent portrait of this salesman counting money in the streets of Istanbul. I love the expression on his face. He is obviously not entirely satisfied. TFS and have a nice weekend!

Cheers,

Ulf

Bonjour, cher ami Roger,
Une photo prise sur le vif ! j'aime la façon dont cet homme en train de compter sa recette retrace bien la vie quotidienne de petits métiers.
La composition est simple, mais terriblement efficace.
Bravo !
Amitiés.

Bonjour roger,
L'argent n'a ni odeur ni religion, et où que ce soit, c'est toujours à gauche qu'on le place... Excellente image. J'aime l'attention du petit commerçantqui fait le point sur ses gains. Une belle réalisation, un beau portrait.
Bonne journée et bon week-end

Bonjour Roger,

Tu as bien saisi l'expression sérieuse de ce vendeur qui compte son argent. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs de la scène. Le sujet est bien cadré. La lumière rehausse les couleurs. Bon weekend.

Hello Roger.
A very pleasing photo and sympathetic portrait. The photo has its main elements in a nice balance, with enough of the goods on the left to show his way of earning his living. The green metalwork balances the picture nicely. And of course, the man counting his money - is he pleased or not with his earnings? Good shot!
Regards,
Andrew

Bonjour Roger,

very good daily life shot. It seems the guy didn't notice your presence and that's a good point. Framing was well thought. Simple and effective in its purpose. Well done!

Caratteristica immagine di vita quotidiana.
A quanto pare, l'anziano signore "old man", ha incassato un pò di soldi e se li sta contando.

I like it!
Roger, have a nice sunday!

your friend Francesco

Bonjours,
belle photo de ce portrait de ce marchant ambulant qui compte ses sous.
Jolies couleurs et bonne netteté de cet homme.
Bien capté cet air tracassé, a mon avis il en manqe un, comme dans l' avare de Molière a son réveil quand il a entendu qu' il manquait une pièce..

Nous vous souhaitons a vous et votre famille de merveilleuses fêtes de fin d' année.
Amitiés Thomas & Rosa

Un geste quotidien bien capté dans une composition au bel équilibre.

paololg (13787) 2008-12-14 9:12

Ciao Roger,
ottimo il taglio che hai dato a questa immagine, prendendo parte della finesta e decentrando il soggetto rendendo la composizione decisamente piacevole. Stupenda l'espressione dell'uomo, molto concentrato a contare i soldi. Definizione dei dettagli eccellente, specialmente nel ricamo in ferro colorato di verde che abbellisce la finestra.
Una bella e interessante immagine di vita di strada, bravissimo!
Ciao, felice settimana!
Paolo

Longroute (9463) 2008-12-14 9:16

Ciao Roger.
in Italia si dice: due piccioni con una fava, hai ottenuto un bel grafismo con la finestra e allo stesso tempo un bel ritratto. Oltretutto l'uomo è proprio messo nel punto giusto, in basso a destra. Come dicono gli americani: a good shot!
Amicalement,
Donato

Salut Roger,

Good capture of elder seller while counting his money and maybe planning of payment for next bills. The stone facade and religiously green colored part of window is excellent background with part of his goods. Congratulations. Have a nice new week.

hi Roger

Counting money? Or giving small change?

Very interesting street view of the vendor selling daily need items but with a touch of islamic style in the window and white cap.

Istanbul is very interesting city!

tfs, bill

Bonsoir Roger,

Amities et felicitations, cher ami,

Merhaba Rodger,

another masterful photo of yours showing us a
bit of hard daily life of Istanbullus.
I appreciate the concentration of the seller
but as a native person I still couldn't
decide whether concentration of people like
this uncle on money is due to their limited
income or they like money more than anything.

compliments

kamil

bobocortis (14142) 2008-12-16 9:19

Bonjour Roger,

Une scène de rue bien captée, j'aime bien l'expression de cet homme qui recompte consciencieusement la recette de sa journée. Le bout de étalage sur la gauche et la fenêtre en fer forgé apportent un contraste appréciable à la photo. Bon et intéressant coup d'oeil Roger.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne fin de journée,

Jean-Charles

Dyerco (9122) 2008-12-17 7:01

Hi Roger
He looks disappointed with his take for the day. there is a nice balance between the man, the window and his wares. It forms a nice triangle for the eye to move around.

ben4321 (9807) 2009-01-18 2:57

Hmmm, not sure about this one Roger.
While the man makes an interesting looking subject, it's just a shame that we can't see his face. I know he's counting money, but waiting a couple of seconds until he glanced upwards would have made for a more succesful photo.
Also, the framing lacks balance - too much empty wall at the top, and we need to see more of his stall.
In my view, framing horizontally tight on the man and the stall would have worked better, and like I said, waiting until the man's face was visible.
Sometimes it pays to hang around to wait for the right moment rather than just grabbing the shot and moving on. Also, try and explore different compositions, as the first shot is rarely the best.

Cheers,
Ben
