The true Dickensian spirit of Christmas was in evidence at the Karlsplatz Weihnachtsmarkt in Vienna today!

Leica M9 + Leica Summilux M 35mm 1:1.4, 1/125s f1:2.8, ISO 160. PP in LR, PS and Nik ColorFX 4.

Mind he did make a mean hat and I just couldn't resist!

You do have some interesting neighbors Pete!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

This is amazing pete!!! Love the lighting on this
Is he your friend?!? Lol

 

[Pete Askew]

Well, was after I bought a hat from him! I've sent him this picture too and his customers appear in his ever-growing catalogue as he takes a picture of you in the hat you bought! Fame at last!!

That's a great shot! A true Dickensian image. Conjures the idea of Uriah Heep dressed up as Bob Cratchett. With his color--the white and red and of course those delightful choppers--he fairly pops right out of that background!

he takes a picture of you in the hat you bought

What does he shoot with? I'd love to see him post to RPF!

 

[Ralph Thornton]

Nice shot Pete. But if he puts that photo in a catalog I'm wondering if he will end up with fewer customers?

Yep yep, the lighting is perfect!
What works here i think is that it almost 2 images!
1 of Pete in the foreground ()
and another of the stall...
The stall looks all dark and makes you want to explore it and the portrait is a great shot by its self!
It works very well as a photo imo!

The only thing missing is sound!
