| Description | |
Looking for images taken in and around a Market. For this any sort of "Market" can be used from a car boot sale to the more elaborate purpose built building and stalls. As this is a weekly competition an image taken with Pentax and Pentax clones without time constriction may be used. Good Luck |

Thank you all for taking part in this competition. It wasn't an easy task to choose a winner and other places because of the high standard.
Any comments are just my opinions in trying to judge one image from another.
FRENCH MARKET by mowser
A very colourful entry and although the red chillie peppers dominate there is a variety of other produce on sale nicely framed by the red chillies.
Local colour by michaelblue
To me this is two images in one, a street scene but because of the open front type of shop and the goods displayed on the pavement it is also a market scene. Maybe a more square on pov with some of the road cropped off would have looked better.
Flower stall by Perspicador
A nice colourful display of flowers but not showing where they are located such as on a stall so doesn't really fit the brief.
Mercato tomatoes by Dr.Mhuni
The sort of shot I was looking for. Has all the elements of a market, the produce, the stalls and the the people. Perhaps the foreground could have been a little sharper.
PENCIL SKETCHING by darlene
This shot reminds me of the railings of Hyde Park, Bayswater Rd., where hundreds of paintings and art work are on display for sale. The price tag on the upper left is a plus, but the trolley wheel at bottom right is a distraction
Market Rides in by JudithAnn
I'm not sure this image complies with the brief as there is no evidence of there being a market here. The triangle on the back of the carriage is a distraction although I realise it's probably compulsory, like a license plate on a car.
Noirmoutier Market by johnriley
I liked this image straight away. It has everything required to fill the brief. I wonder if you could have avoided a little more of the roof support acroos the face of the person at right and got the person at left away from the frame. Nevertheless the stall and goods are the important part of this image.
Keddleston Antiques Fair by peterf
Nice coloured boxes and the upper one gives an optical illusion of the inside being flat when it is in reality curved. I wish there had been a price tag or 'for sale' label otherwise the image just says stack of coloured boxes.
Street market. Peru. Cuzco by Demanov
There is no doubt what this chap is doing and it must be a hard way to earn a living. One question springs to mind, does he blow the horn to attract customers.
How much? by Lifespicer
Certainly an image which fulfills the brief, I just wish it had been a little sharper in the lower half.
Coffee Stall at Killerton by bwlchmawr
A nice sharp image which shows exactly what it is, refreshment stall at a market, so fills the brief. The only minor thing is that branch at right which looks like it could poke someone in the eye.
Market Butchers by davidtrout
A very good image, sharp from front to back but it says 'meat processing room' rather than Market. I know Grainger Market quite well so I'm sure you'll accept my observations.
Don't lose your shirt... it's time for a drink by drofmit
I liked the idea of this image, showing the colletions of "treasures" on sale at carboot sales. This does fill the brief as such an odd assortment of items in one place does say carboot/market to me.
Granville Island Vancouver by Maishy
A good image which says covered market. The center stall framed by the people left and right and above by the signs keep the eyes on the stall.
A Fish Stall... by Jim-w
I do like these "how other people live" photos. The goods on display around the fish stalls certainly say Market. I think the top could be cropped at the level of the top row of bags on the far stall.
Sage Market by geordie01
This fills the brief as it's definitley a Market. Plenty of detail but I can't help wondering if it may have looked better in colour.
Brown's by AndrewA
While I like the tone and textures of this image it just says empty box on, I'm assuming, a lorry and not anything 'market'

Good competition, well judged Stan. Thanks for your efforts and congrats to John on his win and the other podiumers and HCs.
I entirely accept your point about my picture being more of a meat processing room than a market scene Stan.
