Very neat indeed! interesting packaging. A nicely presented shot.
I just ate that nectarine today! have the same exact blue plu sticker. Nice to see folks oversees have the pleasure of tasting this california white nectarine. Hope you tried a nice ripe one. They're really sweet, juicy and fragrant.

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments and constructive criticisms.

They are all appreciated and noted to further improve my future shots.

To be fair, I'll leave the photo as it is...

After all, it's for the love of photography and IMO, winning this challenge is secondary...;-)

Great shot Yus! There's a little too much OOF green fruit in the front for my eyes and it might make a stronger image with a bit of a crop off the bottom to above the label on the lower left, which is a little distracting anyway. The focus on the red apples and green pears really draws the eye into the image with the OOF fruit in the background making for a great colorful image. Nice one! :-) CJ

The reflections from the wrapping tend to wash out the intensity, but gives them an otherworldly look, since I've never seen fruit displayed this way. Looks like a science fiction movie: produce for pod people. -tv

The DOF makes this shot. Looks like the fruit goes on forever. -COAmature

Thanks Rod, for the comments, and from what you've said, I believe you do stand out from the crowd in your own special way.

PS: They don't normally get wrapped in plastic at the wet markets - that's why I took this rather unusual shot plus the fact that my S5 was around with me.

Unusual looking shot covered in plastic wrap. Well done Yus. I wouldn't worry about strange looks as I get them even without me camera:-)

That's one of the reasons I don't take photos at market, they look at you with strange looks.

Thanks, aam1234.

In fact, the fruit sellers were a little worried I took these shots and kept asking me what they are for.

Just told them I am a tourist passing by with a big smile.

Very cool and yummy.
