Fishmonger

It's early morning and the fishmonger is displaying the catch from the previous day. I liked his gesture and the shapes and colors of the different varieties of fish against the bright yellow covering. Olympus E-M1, 12-40 lens, 1/250, f/4 and ISO 320. C&C welcome. Richard

Richard, I really enjoy looking at your photo! Both the symmetry of shapes of the fish in the foreground and the opposite colors of blue and yellow that show up throughout the scene. The bright yellow color in the table cover, fishmonger's apron and back wall really make this photo pop for me.

The color palette really carries this for me. It is bright and lively. You might consider cloning out the bright spots to the right of the yellow pillar. The vendor's gesture adds a nice splash of action. I like this a lot.

Very nice display of fish set off by this yellow table and the slightly dull yellow background. Looks typical of Third World countries. A cultural feast for the eyes. Nicely done.

Something different - congrats on the WP!
I also like the colourful display of various fish, the bright yellows, and the lined face of the owner.
