Love this shot - the colour/composition. Though some may say 'straighten it out', I think the angle adds character.

Yes I would say straighten it out, its just that everything else is sloping down to the right as well!, And I`m afraid I would have asked the stall owner if it was ok to remove the carrier bag also Andrew, I`m sure he/she wouldn't have minded. Lovely idea and well spotted.

Thanks, Guys,

The picture has been straightened: look at the door frame to the left! But I know what you mean!

Definitely should have removed that damned bag, Cliff, but couldn't face the task of cloning it out!

Regards,

Andrew
Best wishes,

Andrew

Hi Andrew, like this a lot, a difficult situation 'to straighten or not to straighten' that is the question... I heard that somewhere before, didn't like it then and even less now ... sorry nice shot regards Ron

Oh my good G.., didn't even notice the doorway before. The picture is straight! Though it is one of those cursed plastic thingies, I rather like it being there.

Cheers,

Stephen

I like this shot Very much Andrew, it reminds me of the shopping trips to the Northcote Market at Clapham Junction with my mother (those were the days). The picture is level you just have to look at the glazing bar in the window, and Im like you with regards to cloning (I have the patience not the ability),I'd go back on a windy day and hope it was gone.

Many thanks everyone: just such a simple shot to take. Very photogenic. The post processing was really to tone down the bright colours and add a dash of nostalgia.

Regards,

I like the period feel to this picture. Because of the reduced saturation and use of sepia I don't think the plastic carrier bag is too intrusive. And when was a market barrow stall ever level?

Lovely scene Andrew but the odd mixture of apparent sepia & B&W doesn't work for me. Unfortunately the white bits stick out like the dog's proverbials - in particular the post in the BR, but all the white bits (the left side building is the next major offender).
Straight sepia would suit this well.

Regards, Ian.
