Greetings Petek,

A wonderful portrait and a fabulous inside shot under clearly quite difficult lighting conditions. I am impressed with the way you have handled the graduations in available light - the top of the picture is brighter, but the eye is still drawn to the merchant - who while less brightly lit still stands out as the important focus of this shot.

Great work, thank you, Iain
