~~ Commerce~~, a photo from Himachal Pradesh, North

Photographer's Note

Passing underneath this tree for many months, something urged me to click the tree.......no......the gentleman sitting underneath the tree selling peanuts just for Rs 10.00 say one fifth the price of 1$. No arguments....no cheating......just a simple line of trade...selling peanuts. Isn't it Commerce?

Very nice documentation of the daily life of ordinary people especially that it is in B&W, made more real than color. Great pov and dof with nice contrast. Well done, tfs.

Hello Rajeev,
This is a very well composed picture with an excellent greyscale. The people gathered around the man selling peanuts are very nicely framed by the tree and its thick, overhanging branch as well as the lamppost to the right.The light falling on the wall makes the people appear very clearly and distinctly. There is also a good interaction between the salesman and his customer.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Rajeev,

this is an interesting daily life image, a simple way of commerce, I think it was a good idea the B&W option, it gives a strong visual effect, well seen,

Best regards,

Hi Rajeev,
This daily scene is so well framed with the tree and thebuilding, the air even seems to have an atmospheric mist, it brings so much to this scene.

Very well composed.
TFS Rajeev.

The brightness of the background walls give a magic effect to a rather regular daily life scenery. The tones of B&W are very nice and the composition looks like a nicely staged theater scene in your hands.
Best wishes,

Hi Rajeev,

A superb daily life scene at this impromptu market, with a superb tonal range & excellent graphism & sharpness. I like the motion blur of the 2 sets of hands quickly completing their financial transaction. The tree at left frames the scene well. Tfs!

Hi Rajeev
Here is a nice usual daily life street scene taken in b/w. Usually, i prefer color photos for the candid street shots but you've got it nice here in monochrome. The people there are on their own mood. Nice shot.
have a great time,
ashish

Hello Rajeev - An attractively composed DL shot. I like the way you have used the tree to semi-frame the activities of buying and selling. A good tonal range with both clean blacks and bright whites. Warm regards Rosemary
