A nice mixture of shots. I like them all. The backgammon is great - clearly an edge of the seat game. The bazaar is so busy. The colours in #2 are wonderful. And so is the dancer shot while #5 is a portrait of despair. Five shots to sum-up a very complex city? Probably not but a very good set in my opinion.

Nice set. And well captured diversity of the city. I regret I`ve never been there - looking at these, I want to go!
On the last one - just an impression, I haven`t been there - what if step back and framing more to the left, to have also police officer? Maybe this would add something here?

Thanks all.
Richard, you are right. It is a complex but fascinating city.
Ycp13, when I was taking the shot, the security guard who I meant to include suddenly turned her back to me so I decomposed and, just as I half pressed, she turned again. By then, it was too late ... Because the bored expression would have added the spirit of naked indifference ... Something I wished to avoid. So I made do with the hint of human presence instead.
Roni, thank you for your kind words.
