Take a break... Photo

Photographer’s Note

Have you ever felt like... u have been working all your life and you need a rest?? Today did you wish that you could have taken that half hour siesta? but you couldn't? The western world is turning too fast and the east is also following the west's rhythm too fast...

But in east there are still places where the world takes a break... Like this man and his scale... in the market in Madurai.

No crop, as shot.

Good note, and good complicate composition that describes the situation without showing us the faces. Livia

I like the position of the 2 guys and the scales, but there is so much going on in the background that it is quite confusing. Still I wish I had taken it though.
cheers, David

Hi Bala. Good shot, a good composition, I like that the scales are resting as well. good saturation as well, not too much, not too little.

Salut Bala,
I'm ok with what Narayan says here, every bit of it, but...I wish you had managed to ISOLATE the two human figures here in that T shape by applying more bokeh to the busy background, to make them POP more in the frame, Difficult with the 18-70 I know... And your 50 would have been too long...
That is my only suggestion, it is not a criticism, just advice from a friend and a bokeh fool...
Cheers,
Francis
