The reason for this photo was to show the juxtaposition between the age old farmer and the New Age shoes. The lighting source was natural and overhead.

Nothing could be further from the truth. This delightful gentleman is always at our market and when this challange was announced I went to the market with him in mind. I have always found him interesting and quite fun to talk to. So I just started taking shots of him just being him and this came up by chance. I went over and asked if I could use his image for this and he laughed and asked me if he was really that interesting to take a photo of. I showed him the photos and he said yes.
Hi Max,
I think the composition and Framing are a bit off here. With the main subject being the farmer and his shoe the extra info in the image (side of truck to wall) take away from your overall point (farmer & shoe) cropping out the window and the front end of the truck would helped this image greatly. The image seems to be a 1/2stop or so overexposed and the colors washed out. Color washout is often the effect of over exposure a high sun say around noon or a combination of the two.
This looks just a touch over-exposed. maybe a touch of contrast would help that. also, I think a crop that "cut off" the front of the truck and showed more on the right, so that we could see what he was selling would be more interesting.
