Carmel Market by Eyal Nahmias
A vendor and a shopper at the Carmel market in Tel Aviv Israel. The Carmel Farmers Market (CFM), a growers-only market, is Tel Aviv’s biggest and busiest marketplace filled with colorful stalls and shouting vendors selling a variety of goods, from dried fruits and exotic spices to clothing and footwear an exciting and bountiful place to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, eggs and plants. Many vendors have their own songs, which tell you all about the price and quality of what is being sold. Sometimes one vendor sings against another in a competitive duet. The market runs into side streets, large and small, one side favoring dry goods, and the other dried beans, fruit, nuts, and spices in all colors and fragrances, sold from sacks.

A very nice capture , although the young man doesn’t look to happy , maybe he is camera shy.
Thanks Irene, I’m not sure if he was camera shy or just stopped on his track when he was photographed handling money…. :-)

A wonderful image. Not only the general attractiveness of the “live” shot but composition-wise the textures & colours of the fruit, the mono-colours of the clothing of the buyer and the seller the darkened area to the right with just a hint of skylights (?) and lastly the magical look on the buyer’s face ( all business and focus) and the the startled quizical look on the young man selling. All adds up to the allure for me of your image. Just magical.
Thank you so much, for this detailed comment. I appreciate it and glad that it worked its magic on you… :-)
