How does she do it? Look at those colors, look how saturated they are!

My friends, I remind you, the deadline in January 31st. You still have this one week to get your entries in.

I am heartened by the number of cameras I see down in the market – whether you enter or not, you are down there, taking photos and enjoying the sights and sounds and smells and tastes of a Kuwait national treasure.

Even the way the vegetables and fish are arranged shows artistry and an eye for beauty and composition. Look how ShoSho captures the colors and textures of the Sadu woven goods and carpets. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Send your photos to Intlxpatr@aol.com. If you send them, I will print them. 🙂

(ShoSho, you set a very high standard to beat!)

  5. AlHamour – Here are the basics: The Great Kuwait Market Magic Challenge. If you type in “The Great Kuwait Challenge” in the post search box above, you can see previous challenges. The only prize is the thrill of the hunt, and the accolades of your fellow photo buffs, but we do have a lot of fun.

    My photos don’t count, since I am running the contest, and want to remain totally transparent. 😛

    Happy shooting!

    Sent to me as attachments, I can fix them, but if you send them max pixel 550 in longest direction, I will post it exactly as sent. Intlxpatr@aol.com

  7. Wei – Welcome! I only see a very few photos for Kuwait, and many for Turkey. In fact, I think I know where those women are, near the citadel where the big museum is in Ankara, right? One of my favorite parts of town! 🙂

    More Kuwait photos! If you want to enter the Great Kuwait Market Magic Challenge, send the photo to me at Intlxpatr@aol.com.
