    Nice work, Awais. I wonder if the first might have worked better with the focus on the guys in the foreground. I presume they're the ones doing the bargaining. I think the guy on the right is going to get the best of the deal. mwink.gif

    I agree i should have focused main people rather than that guy in middle, but it was instant shot. Just wondering, won't the people looking into the lens even they are not main subject look distracting if they are OOF ? i always try to avoid that but dont know if it is right or wrongheadscratch.gif .

    Yes they are almost hand made, and they cost around 6$ or 7$. No idea what they sale apart from foot wear.
    thanks

    It probably depends on the particular image, but if they are not the main subject, then why should it matter? Usually we don't want people looking directly into the lens anyway, so keeping them out of focus might even help in some cases. ne_nau.gif

    Even though there is much more going on in the first shot, I prefer the second by a lot. The first has a unintended tangent with that light in the back, and the guy's forehead, there is the focus issue, and the arm emerging from his beard. Also the third person in back is detached from the drama in the front and a distraction from it. I guess this was just a difficult shot to carry of given the short amount of time available.

    The second shot is carefully composed and a really nice environmental portrait.
    If not now, when?
