Dumpling Seller Photo

Photographer’s Note

Sometimes the simplest things are the best--like very hot steamed dumplings on a very cold day. This is from a small street market in Guangzhou.

interesting daily life scene, I like the steam and all the huge bamboo containers surrounding this woman.

Hi KL ... beautiful light and daily life ... i would have liked presence of some dumplings inside the frame ... nevertheless, it is good ...

Yes a good composition, normally I like candid shots where the subject is not playing to the camera, but somehow in this case I feel it might have helped if she had been looking at you, or somehow was being involved in her surroundings a bit more - tending the dumplings for example. What is she doing - counting money? There's no link between her and her environment.
