Excellent, excellent, excellent. I have seen so many food truck pictures but this one is extraordinary. Original angle, terrific use of wide angle distortion, great interaction between the customers recording both a transaction and someone tasting the goods, just perfect compositional placement, the palm fonds which, in my book, are an essential element for a truly successful photograph, great technical range and terrific color in this lighting and then, like a magical delivery from the heavens, as if the G-ds of photo had not already graced you with this frame, a red sky.

Thank you, my friend, for your kind words and appreciation.
Ah, yes.... the G-ds of photo... yeah well, they were kind, no doubt; but now it has suddenly occurred to me that they might have been in a bit of a mischievous mood too that evening. As I'm about to reveal unto you:
You see, that 'red sky' is in fact a tarpaulin plastic sheet draped over the food stall to protect it from blowing sand, seagull droppings, and rain... wait, strike that. We don't get that much rain here anyway, so a refreshing cloudburst from the heavens above is always welcome... for the first... five minutes. Then, sheer panic sets in!

From which I could conclude that the G-ds of photo are false gods who deceive us. That should have been self-evident to me.

I don't know what game the "G-ds of photo" are playing here because just 24 hours ago I was telling you about rain in Dubai, and it's been raining here all day today!
False gods? I'm not too sure about that...

Of course, they'll most likely overcharge the heck outta you if they find out that you're a tourist.
