Striking A Bargain At Saigon Square

Saigon Square in Ho Chi Minh City was stocked with tonnes of fake-branded goods on our recent visit to Vietnam. All the big-name fashion brands were represented — some looked like the real deal, while others looked obviously counterfeit. I manage to find a high vantage point from a stair-case landing to catch the action. Colour balance and exposure was tricky. My 40D did a good job at ISO 1600. I converted the final shot to black-and-white for a more journalistic feel.
