Hi Zeeshan. Interesting photograph, and I appreciate the B& W.
It's almost like we get to look through a 'peeking hole'.. have a sneaky look in someone's store, or house.
The shadow of the man's face on the wall is fantastic. It would be cool if you would have made a photograph of that as well, just that. As a 'double' portrait (face-shadow).

Anyway, well done. (Very small sized, though..!)

cheers Sarah

This is excellent.Lots of detail in the photo, the shadow effect is great, looking through the chain to the building in the background could make another photo. Great POV.All round a really interesting shot.

A very nice and interesting composition and image Zeeshan - I like this very much and it tells a lot about this man and the enviornment he is selling in. Like others have said it would be good to see these at a larger size.

A warm welcome to TE.

Fantastic photo! I love the man's shadow on the wall, the highlights on the glass vials and the man's beard, the long shadows ofthe passersby, and the general activity in the distance. Great depth due to intelligent framing.. Why so small?

I like this photo, nice mix of light and interesting atmosphere. The bottles, shadow of the man, the man exiting, mosque in the background, all look good here together.
