Vegetarian Nightmare Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took this photo on Walthamstow Highstreet where the longest market in Europe is on every day. There is also a large range of shops some of which are very traditional. This one struck me because of the colour in its window and the richness of its supply...

I am sorry I don't like this at all. There is no where for the eye to rest, no focus point. I also think there is too much Magenta in the shot notice the colour cast in the boxes on the self and the white coats the workers are wearing.

Hmmm, good photo opportunity, but to my taste, you should have thought some more before taking this photo. So there you are, in from of a shop, and you see a lot of meat. A vegetarian nightmare! How to tell this story? Perhaps a closeup of some big piece of meat, with in the background the rest of the shop with all the red meat - as far as the eye can see. A closeup of a shopassistant hand, grabbing a piece in a sea of red? Try to apply some creativity, otherwise i must agree with Billyt. So... go back and redo! :)

I actually quite like the chaos in the picture and think the title is brilliant.

Ah yes, the butcher's shop. I think this photo depicts perfectly the situation the way it was when you took the shot. A great daily life subject. It seems you took the shot through the window, as I see a tad of reflection? Perhaps an idea would be to shoot from the inside. I still think this is a wonderful subject.

Whether you like the photo or not, you have to see the absurdity of the situation. I probably would have taken the same photo. Good work.
