So the boy`s next is a little hot and we do not see his expression on his face. Body language is just as important and brilliantly used here to show boredom and wariness. The old man couldn`t care less ; he is a trooper and plays wwhatever whenever. Originality achieved is the counterpoint bwetween such divergent personalities without overt expression. The composition is still excellent because we become the boy and see many of the goods selling at the flea market. Surprisingly interesting and measningful equals excellence.

Great shot, Lucien! I like the new rating system - I don`t have to write so much!

What a great capture. There is an evident sense of interaction between the boy and the man caught through your lens. You must have been very alert to catch this. smile

Nice focused image. Good contrast in characters and wonderful textures
