Dulcie from Danville, CA, United States
While your B&W and wonderful textures are powerful here, I think it is the 'conversation' that piques the interest. Whatever they're saying, they seem most intent !!! :-)

Somehow there is a surprisingly familiar look between those two. Like they have know each other for years,.

Well composed with all the figures cooperating for you nicely. I like the contrast with the regular brick background and the overall hard gritty treatment.

The white pixels seem to be punched out from the background: great stuff!

I like how strong the "corn conversation" captures everyone's attention in this street shot. The high contrast processing looks so good with this shot. A fine image.

Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
Very cool. I love how it looks like it is part of a story. If Rembrandt was a photographer, that would be his shot.

R.J.Dee from Ettlingen, Germany
for me it is a scene taken from a musical - performed on a stage while the woman and the seller are singing a duet : Like a unicorn loves its horn people in Canada love their corn ...
7 Nov 2009 9:03pm
@R.J.Dee: once you mention you are teaching , and so many times I wanted to ask you what ? Love the way you write always appropriate comments ;) I as a mathematician do not have the writing skill ;))
@Pedro Callealta: thx Pedro ;)
John from Geneva, United States
I gotta tell you, I don't catch much from the people in this shot, or their interaction, but the brick wall just nails it for me. I don't know if it's the mortar pattern, or the ubiquity of it across the different individuals, but it's just ....it.
Nice photo!
7 Nov 2009 9:19pm
@John: he he he he .. I love how you love that lovely brick wall ;)) I love woman selling corn .She is such a fun girl . Dozen for 1 dollar, if you ask 2 dozens for $1 you get it :))
@Zeinab: YES, under your beautiful tree :)) kisses !
John from Geneva, United States
Tells you about my observation skills - I thought it was the guy in jeans selling the corn!
7 Nov 2009 9:39pm
@John: oh, no :)) everybody who is buying corn are pealing it right there in this huge carts ( sorry , have no clue how to name this stuff ... :)) .. And lady is Amish, came from the farm selling corn :))
Zeinab from Tehran, Iran
Me and my tree are waiting for you... Eyes on the way for your comming
7 Nov 2009 9:47pm
@Zeinab: he he ... I wish :))))))))

Blackdog from London, United Kingdom
She looks like she is doing a roaring business, hardly surprising at that price! Very strong B&W shot, that totally suits the tonal contrast.

Bill from Pacific Northwest, United States
I keep wanting to get closer to see his shirt better. Perhaps a tighter crop with just him and the Amish lady?
8 Nov 2009 9:43pm
Steve Rice from Olympia, United States
An excellent shot of the lady making a sale. It must be good corn the way are waiting. A very lovely image.

Mike from United States
Ha! Corn sale! Great pick. Although accurate, the title struck me as very funny. I really need to get to Toronto to photograph some of these people!

rian from mobile, United States
what makes this scene unique is that lady with the scarf on her head.. very nice candid capture.. :)

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
I like the scene and the action- amongst all the modern-dressed people, the old lady is the traditionalist. Nice shot.
