Description The best of my out-the-taxi-window shots. The feeling I get when when I stare at the dirty warm glow of this street cooking is just what it was like being there during those long hot dirty days and nights (sometimes)

love the colours and the mood of this..(to me) its the best thing about this photograph. what i dont like is the hand sprouting out of no where from the side; im sure you were wanting to capture them making something or working with the doe and i think its ashame that isnt there.. is the original different perhaps? anyway to crop this without ruining all those other beautiful qualities?

aw you don't like the hands? I cropped them like that so it takes you away from the person who is doing it and concerntrates on the warm smelling glowing foods, just the act of making it.. and stuff, which the hands are doing. Do you think including the whole person would look better, or just up to the shoulder or what? At first I didn't want any hands, but then I thought it'd be cool just to show the hands that created all the yumminess you see, without including enough to take you out of that space. I will try different crops when I'm home, if I can remember

no no its just my opinion and you have a super point and good reason for leaving the hands in, if its what YOU like, and what you wanted it to be, then go for it! I would be interested in seeing the original sometime

I know! They make those little taxi spaces like their homes.. I'm not sure, if you want to try street photography, just go outside and do it. The only piece of advice I can really give is be SLY and quiet
