Taken at a local market place, first thing in the morning when they were setting up & everything was fresh and piled high.

I enjoyed this session, as the market traders were really nice and friendly. They want copies of anything I print, so that's a plus.

Not my favourite from the morning, but the one with 'mass appeal' for the challenge.

Shot in RAW and process in ALR Beta4. Standard WB/Contrast/Colour & Cropping.

Post-Process in CS:

*Adjustment of Levels
*Selective saturation of the signs pop out the reds
*Clone and dodge tool on the signs for clean up
*Lens blur to add DoF

*re-size for DPC, add border, save for web and pray.

Our clementines come in a nice small wooden create, marked imported, around Christmas and then through the winter months...no stems, just a nice box. I get some dry ones once in while. I imagine these are delicious!

This is a bit too busy. A closer crop of just one fruit may have worked better. This way there is just too much going on and no where for your eye to rest...

I never would have thought if taking a shot in a market like this. Nice idea.

Nice, natural shot - well balanced with the angle you chose.

Angle, the signes, the muted colors - all great atmospheric shot.

colors are too drab. Looks like old fruit.
