Garlic Stand

Whoa, that's a bunch of garlic!

I'm afraid this shot doesn't say much to me either, Jennifer. The subjects are all quite static and, since their staring at the camera, don't hold much interest. I do love your work but I don't think this one is up to your standards.

Ah! Garlic! My favourite food!

Love the subject, but I'm not too sure about the colour; way too much blue (or magenta) for my taste. I think I'd prefer B&W, or more yellow perhaps?

Love the details (fan, gloves, mask, plastic cup… …blank expressions?)

Gilroy, CA? (my Mecca

)

Agreed that the subjects are static. They weren't afterwards, not that that matters. It's one of my earlier 'street' shots. They became upset after seeing me. I don't speak Korean, but they weren't happy. It's from 2007 and what's kept me interested is the colour and the contact. Pinks and blues with everything else being washed.

It's also been a component of learning how to handle incandescent lights in the foreground. I might try a rework in B&W if the comp & subject justifies.

I wouldn't waste my time reworking this one in bw.

You've got plenty of much better images to sink your time into.
