This is great Brent. The diagonals of the arms meeting and the lights and pipes flowing with the DOF makes for a good one. -Doug

Nah, never found out what exactly was up with the lizard dt but expect it was put there by the woman to get a reaction from customers :-)

Was anything ever found out about the lizard? -dtallakson

Excellent pic, mate. Really like the colors (and WB), also the repeated pattern the lights make.

The Pike St market is such a fertile source of color and infinite detail nicely captures here. -tv

Real nice colours Brent. I know I always say this but the performance of the 5D at high ISO is incredible.

Thanks all for your comments :-) Thanks for the note on the file size Konstantin. I just started using PS CS4 and there seems to be a bug where it does a "save for web" a few bytes larger than you tell it to- I had to re-save this twice.

Great shot Brent, I wonder how you managed to get such a great colors by so difficult light conditions.
I think this image can be winner on many challanges - candid, market, fruis/vegetables, colors, expressions ...
Konstantin
PS. Brent, can you please check the size of the file?

Good candid and a firm composition, which doesn't get in the way of the captured moment between the two two main characters. Excellent colors, as usual :)

Really like the shot! I'm not sure I would be buying greens here though ;^) -dtallakson

Great colorful shot of the market Brent, and when I first looked at this I didn't notice the lizard either. Great expressions on the ladies' faces! I like the diagonal composition too. CJ

I really like their expressions and the converging lines of produce and lights. However, now that YB has mentioned it, my eyes are immediately drawn to that "green lizard" or whatever it is.

Thanks YB I thought I would try my hand at a critter shot :-) Actually, thanks for pointing that out as I didn't even see it. It sure looks like a green lizard or maybe it is just the shape of the veggies? Maybe I will try to swing through there again on my lunch break today and try to solve the mystery.

Is that a green lizard?
