Hi Gert,
Nice collection of colours, with the pink over all. I notice also the woman's orange dress. I saw a lot of orange last year in Cape Verde also.
Regards,
Francisco

Hi Gert,
Fine perspective and good colours. And of course the nice looking woman in the foreground means a lot to the composition.
Regards
Gunnar

Hello Gert,
this happens to be another photo of a different seller :)
Pink wall and pink headscarf! and I am impressed by the basins!!
I would probably sharpen the photo a little (or maybe my eyesight is becoming poorer).
Very good POV chosen!
Kind regards,
Elena

Hello,

You visited a lot of countries and this one I would like to see one day. Nice travel portrait with a good use of the colored wall in background to provide an added element.
The photo is a bit soft, I guess because it should be a slide scan? A bit sharpness in more could be good there.

Yves.

Hi Gert
This picture has the most wonderful colours and textures and your eye is definitely key to the normal street scene becoming a fetching shot. This one is a prime example, the woman makes such a fine contrast against the vibrant colour of the setting, a welcome change to the norm. Such a simple but effective composition with a lot of impact that you've managed here the detail and the colours are beautifully crisp. Superb shot, TFS
Best regards

Hello Gert,
a lovely picture that looks quiet but has powerful human interest. It was posted back in the days when half a line notes were allowed and I honestly think that not a word more is needed for the viewer to enjoy your composition, study the scene and see what thoughts and feelings they derive from it. I don't know if the lady is aware of your lens and how she feels about it, what she is selling, what the rest of the street looks like and where the openings in the pink wall lead. This picture is just great as it is. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend on the road,
Ourania

gert

some years ago many people from cape verde came to brazil by flight to buy things and sell in the islands. I am not sure if this is occurring nowadays yet.
I liked the indirect light, the repetition of doors, the colors and the precious personage. perfect.

hugs

Hi Gert
Beau portrait de la vendeuse contre le mur au couleur pastel comme son foulard sur la tête, beaucoup de détails, de couleurs et une sympathique présence du chien qui dort
belle journée

You made me look at you photos from Cape Verde posted a decade ago and I think they are great!
Here the colours od the lady'd clothes, her merchandise and the wall of course create an appealing mix.
Oh, and it's a great street shot too.
