4th Place: Agroni with Olives
I like the thought of markets and the selling of fresh produce and the things that come with that, buying seasonal produce. An excellent shot that portrays the essence of a market.
3rd Place: Artandrevolution
I love the composition and symmetry of this shot, a fairly mundane subject taken with an excellent eye for detail.
Now the decision between the next two was a very hard one indeed, if I had my way there would be two winners. However, I have chosen one and this was based on the fact that the winner posted a clickable image while second place posted an image where I had to click the link with the picture. I checked the rules and while there may be cause for not accepting anything other than clickable images, I feel as there is no money only pride at stake it was not an indiscretion that warranted an exclusion! If you don't agree, well the judges decision is final!!
2nd Place: imorozoff
This shot has excellent lighting, composition and subject matter. I love the blending of the two colours, the natural blackberry with the metallic nail varnish flowing over the fruit. Excellent shot
1st Place: Ernst
A fantastic shot that again has lighting, composition and a subject that is dear to many peoples heart! I find the array of textures very pleasurable on the eye, almost too good to eat Fantastic shot. The pleasure is all yours.
