On the market in Cusco. Although the market was not empty this woman had obviously not much customers.

Well observed and composed Tom. Her sleeping head in such close proximity to the meat is quite disturbing! Great touch with the camera hanging just above her head (looks like a camera anyway).

All in all, excellent documentary shot.

Interesting candid photograph. What a quaint scene, Tom.

Tom, a great shot of cultural life. It reminds me of a shot I saw while taking images of my Chicago Chinatown series when I saw a truck open up with racks of red meat hang, but i was too scared to take it, becuse the guys in the back of the truck gave me a funny look with my camera. Terrific job!

Das ist die Kunst der Streetfotografie den Finger zum rechten Zeitpunkt am Drücker zu haben, ist Dir perfekt gelungen.

un oreiller qui peut apporter de mauvais rêves. Très bien vu

Deine Bilder aus Südamerika sind beeindruckend. Auch diese Szene hast toll eingefangen.

Wow, eine klasse Momentaufnahme !
Du hast sie sicher auch ihren Mittagsschlaf fortsetzen lassen und schweren Herzens auf ein schönes Stück Fleisch verzichtet ;-)
