Interesting capture, but, just looking at the image, I don't get the feeling that this one meets the spirit of the challenge. I am guessing that this is a street vendor of some sort, but it isn't blatantly obvious at first glance. It looks like this one is inside somewhere, perhaps a home in a third world country somewhere. I like your toning, as your darks and lights are all nicely processed.
Oh, this is a beautiful street photo. I love it that there is a feeling of joy and festivity in this street photo. And althought there is alot going on in the photo, it's not the least bit distracting -- in fact, the contrasting lights and dark enhance the photo so much! This is an awesome photo.
