I get the idea the photographer was trying to represent. One definitely finds plenty of serendipitous moments at a flea market. However, this boring shot isn't one of them. All I see is three guys talking over a box of bags. There isn't much to their expressions to indicate that anything delightful is taking place. The composition is distracting. My eye keeps wandering to the guy's butt in the background and that white blur at the corner.
This is a great concept. This image captures the essence of bartering at a flea market perfectly. The border does not work for me since if guts off the white hair on the leftmost subject's head. It could use a bit more contrast and the white blob on the far right should be cropped out.
flea market is a great example of serendipity. the border really bothers me. a little noisy (because of high ISO?). smaller DOF would help make the background a little less distracting. overall I like it
