Vertical scrolling is required although it is beautiful.

Wow, a personal posting! Thanks Boof!

It's a really great shot with a good composition. Great detail and nice DOF - something I can't do with my camera...

Your photo has a more 'daylight' colour than mine. I took my photo in the late afternoon when the stall owner had switched on a strip light.

Thank you.

Good shot. Namdaemun is a fun place, you are right. If you look at my profile, the shot of me was taken there actually. The roots look very interesting and have an appealing color and I like how they recede into the distance too.I kind of wish the one on the left was a little more vertical, but it doesn't detract much either. Good little slice of an intriging marketplace.

Reminds me a lot of some of your other photos, in composition and tone-curves. I like it a lot! The reflections in the jars are excellent and so are the curves of the jars. I like the wide-angle perspective and the DOF.

The ginseng looks as though it is a biological exhibit of some exotic animal. The use of dof is good and the composition overall works well.

Bela foto, você conseguiu reproduzir com fidelidade as cores do objeto fotografado, acho apenas que o enquadramento poderia expor o primeiro vidro por inteiro. Parabéns.

Excellent !!! Whereami you're a lucky man !
This is one of your best shots Boof, I really adore it. I love the repetitive subject, the DOF which makes the first the only one to be neat, I like the gold tone, I like the framing.
You can (virtually) consider that I give you 5 points ;-)

Fantastic to see people on (and in) this bottle sweet as honey. Great.

Very well seen and very well composed the vertical format seems to suit it well. The DoF is very well controlled - enough blur to make the vegatable in the foreground stand out from the background but you can still see the pattern created by the repeating shapes.
