This is what I love my 35 for - environmental portraits where there's nice light. The light from outside the market on the onions made me think there might be a nice photo op, and the stall keeper made it for me.

Re: Onion Seller
The light - on his feet, his hands and his face and on the onions - is just wonderful. And just to help it along, you made a great composition of it.

Re: Onion Seller
Most of my posts are too long, so I won't provide a list of everything there is to like about this image. This might be my favorite of all your very nice images. It really is the epitome of environmental portraiture.

Re: Onion Seller
Thanks Donald and Mike. It's a nice feeling when you know you're onto a winner when your finger's pressing the shutter. I like the colour version, but converting to B&W makes it better and more focused I think.
