Spice Rack, a photo from Goa, West

Photographer's Note

Spices for sale at the Anjuna market in Goa.

Pic is a scan from a print, sharpened and saturation increased. As soon as I posted this, I decided that I didn't like the blue and red containers on the right, they seem really distracting. So I posted a workshop with them cloned out. Which do you like better?

Nice composition. Great colours and perspective. You can almost smell them!

Hi David,
Nice Composition but perhaps a few more contrast would be better...I will post U a WS.
Good colors and agree with arifhuque, we can almost smell it !!

Quelle est cette bonne odeur, le cumin, non le safran....je ne sais pas mais ca eveille mon odorat. Ton image par contre eveille ma vue, cet etalage d'epices est superbe. Celle ci est bien, juste un peu terne en couleurs.
Bien vu.

Beautiful composition of the spice shop, great colours. India cusine is know for the use of lots of spices so dont be surprised if all these spices go into one dish.
