Busy Panjiayuan, a photo from Beijing, North

Photographer's Note

This image reflects a very busy view of the Panjayuan (antique) market in Southeast Beijing city. There is much detail here and one can see the individual stalls and spots where sellers show and hopefully sell their wares. For items and things Chinese, this is a good place to explore. It actually takes days. Most tourists do not have the time and are overwhelmed within hours. Over the years I have come to really enjoy this place and the people who work here. I have posted many views on TE and TL. Please take some time and visit my themes (Ghost Market of Beijing) if you like this type of market.

Hello David,
I like this busy market scene that you have managed to capture so well.
The interaction between the buyer and seller - as they both 'touch' the merchandise - really makes the shot.
I also like the expression of 'hopeful anticipation' of the neighbouring vendor, as he watches his next potential buyer.
I did a small workshop just to adjust the slight tilt in the columns and to remove the 'arm' on the left.
Best regards,
Andrew

As always. I like what's there to see in all you pictures and on this market.
Andrew Orme did his comment on the technique and that's good.He knows what he is talking about.

Best regards Ben
