A very sharp and colourful slice of life picture Francisco. I think perhaps if the camera were angled a little more to the right, that the composition might be improved and show us the far side of the street too. It would also follow the direction of the man's gaze. This is one small thing and the picture is still very much to my liking.

Gosto desta Francisco. Andei a saltar de foto em foto pelos teus links de ligação e acabei na que tinha começado. A verdade é que me atrai bastante a rugosidade da parede apresentada à esquerda da foto e isso perderia-se se apontasses a máquina mais para a direita. A centralidade não me incomoda e atrai-me a atmosfera do mercado de rua, assim como a fachada lá atrás. É giro ver o contraste de cor, num espaço urbano quase sem cor. Que diferença seria este local, sem pessoas.

Bonjour,
encore une belle scène de rue, bon cadrage, dommage qu'il n'avait pas un regard vers le photogaphe.
Amitiés.

Ola Francisco,
It is a pity that the people are all looking away from you or at their work; their position, the interesting background and the excellent detail and color would make and excellent photo if only O could see at least one set of eyes.
Regards, P

En parte de acuerdo con la idea de VeeJayCee...Justo viendola en tamanio reducido pense que un angulo mas frontal , directo sobre las rabidantes hubiera sido mejor idea . No obstante la perspectiva es buena porque encuadra el ambiente de la calle , el mar , los barcos y se consigue una interesante composicion muy profunda en su campo ...Me pregunto como habria sido si como dice Vee te hubieras angulado un poco a la derecha . En cualquier caso la foto me gusta mucho .Bona nit

If someday I wil visit Cabo verde, i will feel in home, because you have the portugues influence, the costums are not so different than the coustums we heritage from the Spanish and the lenguaje is so similar,so i will thiugth I'm in Cuba or in Honduras, Puerot Rico O Domincan Republic even Mexico too.
I like this picture as you know daily life is one of my favorites thems
