Walsall market wasn't quite like this back in the day...but a rambling stall loaded with goodies is a wonderful site. I get heat, colour and even smell from this fine shot.

Fresh. The bokeh is a little busy but it mimics the fruit. I like the placement of the fruit in the frame as my eye follows the stalk down.

Farmers market Loano

...said the bells of St Clements....I looked the area up, Liguria, Italy. A shot that takes you places out of curiosity. I find the highlights a little harsh, but that cannot be helped.

Tomato, Tomato

I read the title like the song! You say tomato, I say........A fine bounty and well captured.

Mediterranean Market

Pomegranates were a proper treat when I was a kid in the 70s. The dark background is a little harsh; perhaps a letterbox crop?

Its a Plum world
by Noelcmn
Plums, will they ripen or not....a life long problem. Again, the highlights are a little harsh as are the shadows.

Dug up.....good one! I love beetroot. Nice shot but the shadows are a little too much.

So...
