Located inside a former car dealership, with banks of fluorescent lights, a very crowded marketplace on Friday.

Must be last year's apples

Cool stuff! I like the parsnips with that little bit of rosemary.

Love the tones in shot 2 with all those circles.

Thanks for the kind comments. I guess the rosemary is a cooking hint for the parsnips. As to the tomatoes' sharpness, BzdegaP., you are right. Shooting in relatively low light without flash at f3.2 makes for a shallow DOF, and the tomatoes were slanting away from me, so the ones in front are more in focus than the ones in the back. Personally I kind of like it as it brings a kind of bokeh to the photo, with a purposely out of focus part. But it may be a stronger image with more attention paid to the plane of focus keeping more of the fruit in focus. Oh, I just read that tomatoes are more akin to berries.

I like both 2 and 3
For the parsnips I agree with Richard "Love the tones in shot 2 with all those circles".
For the tomatoes, I like the fact that the far ones are a bit of out focus. It adds a little depth to the image.

Couldn't agree more. If more tomatoes were in focus, it would just be a bunch of tomatoes. Well done on all three actually.
