    hahah. this is fantastic. so where did you meter?

    Shaun, metering was just the good old center-weighted average. I guess the only other technical info worth mentioning is that this was a color photo, but it had such intense reds, pinks, yellows etc. that they drew the eye to individual units, rather than the overall structure of the image and the tones and textures. So I converted to b/w using the Photoshop Channel Mixer. I hope that's useful!

    Or kites! Could you post again in color, even if you think it's not as good?

    Had to look twice. I glad you said it was a market and not someone's clothes-line :-)

    Michael, I guess I could have called it "Imelda Marcos' clothesline" :)
