It takes a second or two to figure out what you've done with this one... nice take!

This shot immediately reminds me of the classic photo advertising Gross Morne National Park in Canada. Here's a web version of the photo (Park Ad). I can't find a better quality version on the web but when seen full size the only thing different is the background.

Nice shot.

There seem to be a few comments about this lady not being happy about me taking her picture. Although I didn't speak with her, I'm quite certain she didn't mind. I was actually already set up and taking pictures of the cart with no one there and she walked over and waited right next to it, clearly in my field of view. It would have been very easy to walk an extra 10 feet over and wait outside the field of view. When she did stop there, I waited a bit and watched to see if she would react to my camera but she didn't. The expression on her face is just a neutral expression, kind of an 'I'm tired and want to go home' thing.

Good eye and awesome shot! I love the spotlight effect too. I would like to see everything a little bit brighter. Maybe something you can try on your next editing pass.

Unless you're planning on selling the photos, you don't really need a release. If you are going to take a direct picture of someone, it is best to ask if it's okay first. And if you're shy about just straight out asking, start with small talk, get to know them a bit first, then ask. I'm actually very shy too but I started asking people a bit and I'm surprised to say that most of the time, they don't really mind, and the few that do, I just don't take a picture of.
In this picture, I see great vision! You have a lot of the right ideas but missed a bit on the execution. I biggest problem is the harshness between the light on the ground and the light on the fruits and veggies. It's outside, you can't really control the sun, so not much you can do about it. But you can change the composition of your shot to remove as much of the brighter areas as possible and not have to deal with the harsh lighting. Maybe get closer, or zoom in and get more of the fruit in focus. Secondly, I LOVE the person manning the booth in this picture. It just screams of 'story'. Now I know you're shy, but I would love to see a picture of her, at her booth. With the red truck in the background and the colored fruit in front (or is it flowers she's selling?), it would make a great portrait. You would be able to both show of the local produce and the local people at the same time. Anyway, just an idea.

Interesting shot. I like what you've done with it. I would prefer a tighter crop, maybe just the bottom half. I find the darkening you've done to the top to be a little distracting.
Oh, and nice dog. :-)
