Hi Kevin,
This is a very interesting capture and an excellent TE contribution. A street view with an abundace of colours and details. What kind of fish is this?
Kind regards

Kia ora Kevin,

Hi Kevin
Great keen eyes Kevin, a real fishy business there. A very imaginative lively shot that really stands out in vivid colors, mount of fish as main attraction. Full of vibrancy and cleverly composed, a centrally filled image with lots of other elements to influence viewers' eyes that require close attention. Street ambient is amazing as it creates a visual feast to the eyes, an insight into local life. Fine shot, Congrats.
Kind regards

Bonjour Kevin

Ils ne manqueront pas de nourriture pour quelques temps. J'aime beaucoup ce cadrage serré sur la table de poissons même si cela peut choquer. . Une belle scène de la vie quotidienne.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Kevin,
This is a fine street-shot of a kind I like and that you have shown us many times. It shows us a way of life that is quite different from that of the Western world. It shows a lot of interesting details. It would have been fine if the two nearest men had faced us instead of looking away. I don't mean they should have been posing for the camera, but somehow been more "active" parts of the photo. There is also a slightly blue tone that might have been adjusted.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Kevin,

A very interesting documentary shot, so unusual to see a pile of dead fish laid out like this. Fascinating image. I can imagine the smell there too!
All the best
