Photographer's Note
Just for fun... apple sellers in the streets of Mumbai, they put some silver foil on each and every apple... it is regarded as healthy to eat it (I mean the foil)... the guy in the back seems to be saying:'crop this' as he points at an ugly piece of hanging cement bag...
They will of course go straight in my Mumbai street vendors and shops theme!

Salut Laurent,
A peu de choses près, nous étions voisin aujourd'hui. J'aime bien le jeu avec cette partie blanche montrée par le doigt du garçon. Ca me plaît que tu l'aies laissé... sans crop.
Amicalement,
Fabrice

Bonsir Laurent
Une nouvelle scène de la rue bien saisie. Les personnages sont très nets, le vendeur te regarde et celui à l'arrière-plan a un air canaille.
Merci pour le partage et bonne soirée.

A great picture Laurent. I like the base made by the apples. I like the triangular shape made by the vendor behind and that dramatic gesture of his friend just adds a touch of drama.Regards Kevin

Salut Laurent,
Very vivid street shot and a bit amusing also. Silver foils apart, the apples look delicious and that's one of the nice things on the photo.
Maybe a tiny bit more exposure on the shadows would be welcome, but since I am not using my usual display I am not sure and anyway it was just a minor detail.
Amicalement, José.

Bonsoir Laurent
une jolie prise de la vie quotidienne avec un bel apport de ces pommes au niveau des couleurs. J'aime bien ton titre : si tu avais suivi ses conseils, on n'aurai jamais su ce qu'il te montrait ;o)
Bravo

Hola Laurent.
I agree with the guy but anyway it's a very good picture, great composition with good colors and sharpness, your POV a DOF are excellent. A perfect daily life shot.
Well done. TFS.

Hi Laurent
humorous pic here, love the expressions of 'em. Lighting was okay but the juxtapostion of characters is good, excellent even, I like the 'L' formed by the hands... And this is nicely framed too with the apples. Very nice take from the streets.

Hello, Laurent--
Tough lighting here, with the dark skin of the vendors prone to fading into the dark background, while the light on the apples makes them feel overexposed... i still think that maybe underexposing this one would have helped it overall... or maybe even going to black and white. But what caught my eye as a thumbnail was the title and seeing what you were referring to--very clever and well seen.
Thanks!

Bon titre bien sympa, pour mettre en avant cette ambiance bien typique des rues d'Inde. Ils semblent sympa, et cette sorte de collier de pommes rose est finalement assez étonnante, d'un point de visuel. Improbable même pour ses couleurs !!

Another nice shot of Mumbai street life Laurent. Very surprised to read that they eat the foil though.

Bonjour, cher Laurent,
Une image de la vie quotidienne qui reflète la gentillesse des vendeurs !
Pas d'afféterie dans cette composition présentée in situ.
Le coup du papier d'argent est amusant et peu ordinaire.
Amitiés.

Humorous shot, maybe he was a photographer too. Good spacing of the men. Wow eating tin foil with apples? I have never heard such a thing. Well done.

salut laurent
une scène de vie comme tu sais si bien les prendre ou le principal est bien mis en valeur, le marchand a l'air fier de son étal, une photo nette et des couleurs naturelles avec un cadrage serré sans plus et ca suffit pour faire une belle image

Exceptionally captured movement of dealers is stunning in your photo and of course with your cleaver header. Dark part are creates good contrasts with apples. Congratulations.

Hi, Laurent! A nice and funny capture! Apples look good and the guy there really seems to say "Please, crop this!". Well done! TFS! Best regards from Rio! Miguel.

Trés amusant le personnage au second plan, beaucoup plus spontané que le premier qui prend la pause parmi les pommes. Trés jolies couleurs (surtout les pommes, l'arrière-plan est un peu sombre à mon gout) et trés bonne netteté.
Bien cordialement,
Emmanuel

Hello Laurent
Still in BKK or able to escape it's clutches & move on to Myanmar ? :-)
Good daily life shot, especially humourous with the man pointing...if you had cropped the hanging canvas, this gesture would lose significance totally. I didn't know about the silver foils..something very interesting, like they do with sweets!
Regards
Angshu
