I wasn't too close and couldn't hear the conversation but the body English painted the picture for me.
None of these images are "wall hangers'. They are shown to give you an impression of the place. Consequently i'm posting a few at a time.
Images don't always need to be wall hangers. The world is not really a beautiful place. Raw, gritty documentary photos should have a big place in the photo world.
Your processing and approach to this image really captures the feeling of stress. Debating price is a mainstay at Flea Markets and yard sales. Love the facial expressions. Voted
