Flower Market - Cuenca - Ecuador
Two women trade in a busy market in the heart of the city of Cuenca, high in the Andes in Ecuador. Bouquets of flowers, cut freshly that morning, dazzle the senses with their vibrant colours and captivating scents. Whether you seek roses for your lover, or a selection of lilies, carnations, chrysanthemums, and baby's breath to make a stunning display, you are sure to find what you need here - and with minimal impact on your wallet!
The perfect wall art for a florist, this image will also delight anyone who has a fondness for flowers, a love of Ecuador, or an interest in traditional commerce. Are you looking for a Get Well card, or wondering whether your girlfriend prefers roses or lilies? This image brings you the entire flower shop in one!
The original photographic image was post-processed using Topaz photoFXlab with a variety of filters to highlight the indigenous flower seller, her merchandise, and her client, whilst retaining a hint of the bustling activity and stunning architecture in the surrounding plaza. Texture layers from Kim Klassen and a vignette from Joel Olives complete the effect.
