    Nice. I think it actually helps this shot that one of the two guys seems to have noticed you. It's too bad the closest shoes are OOF, but it doesn't hurt the image to any great degree.

    Well seen and processed, but I think this misses a little. The shoes are not really the entire story to me. I like the vendors AND the people walking past the shoes and would have liked to have seen a slight shift of the camera angle toward the right. Perhaps explore cropping the left some, but still needs a bit more on the right side.

    excellent
    I would respectfully disagree just slightly with Rainbow. I think it is a great shot and not sure a shift to the right would improve it, unless there were a lot more headless legs walking by. I really like the fact that there are no customer/pedestrians faces shown. OOF front line of shoes doesn't bother me, and I also like the one vendor looking at camera. The fact he is the younger of the two makes it. Older vendor (dad?) is all business, younger one is interested in what is going on around him besides just selling shoes. Excellent processing also, strong blacks and whites without feeling overly contrasty.clap.gif
