They're today's groceries. What more can I say ?
I had been suffering from a huge creative block the last few weeks. A trip to the grocery store sparked my inspiration.
I went for the natural look on a real wooden tabletop instead of the typical stock white background.
Still boring as hell but it'll probably sell well as a stock image...
Lit by that great big softbox in the sky.
Edits : curves, resize & smart sharpen.

Excellent focus, the marks on the front onion is a slight distraction, overall great shot

Nice composition and lighting. I'll ignore the fact that mushrooms are fungi :).

best of the "still lifes with Fruits and Veggies in them" (IMHO) great arrangement and crop

nicely lit, nice range of colours and textures. Good use of a frame to contain the picture. For me it would have been nice to hace a focal point in the picture, without one the eye sort of wanders about. The peppers are nice and bold but neither is fully in the frame, the mushrooms draw the eye as they are so white, but they spill out the frame, there is something creeping in below the onions but I'm not sure what it is . . It might just be me but I think a cetral point of focus would have made the picture stronger. You still get a vote though :- )

This will do well as a stock photo, and probably just fine here in this challenge also. Certainly a documentary, product type image that is well lit although probably lacking that "artistic" feel that propels images to the top scoring-wise. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.
