    Edit Photo Details I've got a loverly bunch of coconuts!   #market #food #portraits #coconuts #sri_lanka #coconut_seller
    For some months now, this coconut seller in Bandarawela market has been begging me to put his photo on Your Shot! I am not experienced with taking portraits and every time I try he "freezes". This has made me all the more determined to succeed. He doesn't speak English, so I try to convey what I want him to do with sign language. Today I got him to move some coconuts around and although I couldn't stop him looking at me, at last he looked a bit more natural! The title refers to the famous song.
