Edges
Enzie, I really like your reference photo. National Geographic is one of my favorites. Have you seen the photograph of the Afghan girl? This is a famous photoghraph, she is breathtaking and sad.
On your painting, I believe that you've done a beautiful job in creating a composite of images. But, like me, you need to take a closer look at edges. Your reference photo very clearly shows wonderful lost and found edges. Check the man's back in particular. By incorporating these in your painting you will make the man "live" in the fruit market instead of being pasted on. (same thing I did in David and Robert) The subject matter is strong, check out the thread on painting wood (for the fruit stand). I miss the "roughness" of the reference photo.
Keep going, I like this.
Jean
