Photographer’s Note
This shot was taken inside Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah at Kota Bahru, Kelantan during my tour along the East coast of Peninsular Malaysia. This market was formally known as Pasar Besar Buluh Kubu but later renamed as Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah in honour of the industrious women who accounted for the majority of the stall owners here.
It is a four storey building with the ground floor as the wet market while level one is for dry foodstuffs. On the second and third level you can find materials like Batik and other textile items, local crafts from copper and silver are also available here and not forgetting hardware items that you might need for your home.
I took this shot from the third floor as I would like to have the vendors to be surrounded by the beautiful colours and textures of the vegetables and fruits.

Hi Aloysius,
Very beautiful colors of vegetables and spices. The colorful clothes of the women mingle with the vegetables. Good high POV, colors and sharpness.
Greetings

Hello Aloysius,
The food is very delicate and presented in an inviting manner!
The view is well framed with sharp fine details, good colour reproduction...
But I needed some time to spot the lady, ha!

Hi Aloysius,
A great colourful and tasteful comeback. You can eat all these with or without some salt, but you presented it to us in a excellent artistic composition. I hope your trip in August will bring us a lot of new impressions, new experience but with the open mind of the youth.
Groet Rob

Hi Aloysius
Good capture, in particular the white cabbage can be tricky. You could have uese one stop less, but that depends your preference. KB is a lovely place. The new market is clean and looks good, but the old market which was replaced by the current one about a decade or so ago, had a splendid atmosphere. Returning to your shot, it is sharp, has a good color & light management and DOF is fine. Well done
Best regards
Urs
