Bon appétit! Do you have lots of theses salesmen along the street? Btw you also see them occasionally in France, but not that often.

[Dr. Harout]

Not everywhere but scattered. But if you go to the market place (bazar, marché). there are lots of them in different colors. A very good place for photography.

Nice shot Doc. Those apples didn't keep the Doctor away. <|;o)

Good subject, but in my eyes there are so many distracting elements in the picture, competing with the man and his apples. I tried some cropping and masking to put more emphasis on the subject, if you want I can upload it here.

By all means, I would be very thankful.

Here is my version of "selling apples".

I cropped it tighter, and in lightzone I masked out the main subject. Inside the mask I increased vibrance (saturation of non-saturated colors) and outside I darkened and decreased saturation. It's probably not optimal - just 5 min. work - and there should be more attendance paid especially to the sand at the left side, but I guess you get my intention. Feedback welcome.

I didn't mind the original. the apples look better in yours but I think I might have tried a portrait orientation especially if there was more foreground in the original.

[Dr. Harout]

Thanks Markus, a much better version than mine. And Javelin, I'll give it a try.
