Photographer's Note

Funchal's main market - Mercado dos Lavradores.
The covered "worker's market" -mixture of colours and smells. The locals sell their products - flowers, fruits, vegetable, fishes. Itt is very popular tourist place in Funchal. Everybody is fascinated with the colours, plenty of exotic flowers, fruits and smell the fish! The market has 3 levels and a central coutyard. It is open daily except Sunday. Here You can see how colourfull this market is ! There was a man standing at the lower left corner; I had to remove him by cloned stamp and cropping the picture a little.

Nice shot of a busy market. Good use of diagonals and curves to lead the eye through the scene. Even though it's busy, it does not look cluttered.

Regards,

This is the second time in the same day I write a comment on photos about this market. It is a very beautiful picture, even if it is lacking a bit of contrast to enhance the colours. Well done.
I always loved markets and I have this one if you wish to have a look.
