Just a shop?

This is an ordinary shop, the type that you can find many examples of in a tourist resort, selling ice creams, drinks, snacks, toys and a whole range of things that tourists may find useful.

But it caught my eye.

I really like the way it’s framed on the street (which looks quiet because I timed my shutter press, but was actually pretty busy), the leading lines of the pedestrian crossing, the framing by the buildings at the end of the street I was on, and the splashes of red that border the shop’s entrance, the faintly-striped awning, the surrounding wall furniture in the form of windows, cabling, and the neighbouring shops.

There’s a lot of detail present in the full-size scan too and you can zoom right in and see it, demonstrating the resolution available in a 35mm frame.
