About the Image(s)
I took this picture in a market in Kolkata, India a few years ago. In India, people cook in markets and on the street, and people buy and eat right there.
I liked the way this man was sitting - it's very Indian to sit like that, with such flexibility.

Seems to be a street photo of India. I guess its Kolkata. I am used to see such things around. It is a favourite snack eaten mostly with tea and puffed rice. Its called Beguni. Nice image. Was there any customer? Posted: 07/03/2025 09:41:28

Yup - the market was full of customers!

Hi Laurie, The image s very well composed. The man is looking toward the cooking Beguni. His arm and cooking utensils direct our eye diagonallyto the food also. We feel closer to this man because you were at eye level with him. Very nicely done. Karl Posted: 07/07/2025 08:45:47

Hi Karl - I hadn't thought about the diagonal line but you're right and it's good composition, even if unintentional. Posted: 07/08/2025 14:22:41
Laurie, you caught a great moment and I like how the man is concentrating on cooking and not looking at you. It's a great composition. Posted: 07/07/2025 19:07:08

Well composed to tell a story about street food in India. I am not sure that this image would entice me to eat. Posted: 07/08/2025 10:23:58

That's India! Take a little cipro with you for possible stomach upset and you're good to go!
