Comment from Life is but a dream.
I read somewhere that males eat their boogers more so than females. I know this is critical information for you to know....sigh...sorry.
WE all do this but most do it in the privacy of their home. I don't find this repugnant but offensive due to lack of courtesy on his part and I take my hat off to you for shooting this, normally most of us would turn away. I'm glad you are a gutsy photographer and I find myself smiling at this entry.
You have captured a good story here with this vendor waiting for customers. Yes, there is eye contact and he saw you shooting, now he's on a world wide site, if only he knew.
Like the colours, the compositional style the sharpness of this image.

Thanks Sweetie for an awesome thoughtful review. Of course males eat their boogers more, having a gross-ness factor of 10 to the nth power! Girls care too much about what people think, and this guy could care less--maybe even flick it at me if I were closer!! I have found that when certain secretions are in a person's body they are ok but when they are outside they are disgusting. Think saliva, urine, even poop. Now you got me started!! LOL Have a great weekend!

You got him for sure and he certainly did not see you , loll - all is so well ordained in this shop but just thinking he is touching the clothes with his fingers - no thank you - stunning capture, excellent timing for the purpose , great focus and exposure , funny situation as I imagine what he would say looking at this shot Loll - great frame choice , perfect in contrast and lighting , a technically perfect picture with a "repugnant" content, perfect for this contest , thanks for sharing

I'd say this is photojournalism at its best. You nailed the guy. Too bad you can't show him this, I'd love to know what he says. Your next assignment is to get somebody scratching his ass! Good work.

I have to say this is so funny and perfect for the contest. This is really gross, lol, poor guy.
Nice and sharp and the unusual hue you have in the shot even adds to it being unpleasant, lol.
Best of luck in the contest :)

Perfect entry in the contest. It do hope this person isn't seen by someone that knows him.
The image is well suited for the contest and the colors in the image are excellent, too bad he stole the show!

YUCK! Was he aware that you took picture of him, in that act. This is so repugnant, and surely meets the criteria of the contest. I dread seeing this scene. Well captured.

Well, if he is the manager of this tienda, then I think you cost him more than his booger was worth. Guess he won´t be using it to promote his business. Oh well, so much for asides. Rich colors and fairly good contrast. Interesting capture of a t-shirt shop.
