A Witch-doctors stall in La Paz, Bolivia. An incredible assortiment of potions and secret ingredients to cure any maladie or push fate to the limits. In particular note the dried lama foetuses which are used to bury under a newly constructed home to it bring good luck. The thing I love about this photo are the colours and the mystery behind each of the ingredients sold. Please let me know your comments. How would you have approached the subject ?
I agree. There's a bit too much on the picture to make it visually strong, or at least the composition could be better. I would also try to isolate some items and leave the rest out of the picture. The complementary red-green contrast is very lively indeed !
how would i have approached it? i wouldve taken a pic of just the fetuses!!! haha ok well since you liked the colors of the bags and all the medicinal potions, i tihnk myabe a pic with you moving to the left of where you were here would be better. i wouldve included in teh frame the foreground, as you have here, and the shelves. from your angle, the wall detracts from the colorful reds and greens. yeah so a tight shot of the foreground herbs and the shelves i tihnk wouldve made it better
