Seems a bit dark and shaky. I see that you were in aperture mode. Why did you choose such a small aperture? Just wondering if there was some stylistic choice in play here. If you had opened the aperture up some (well, really, a lot), you would have been able to eliminate that blur by having a faster shutter speed.

Were you using a tripod? If you are going to have .3 second shutter speed, that is a really long time to hold a camera still.

The picture was taken with no tripod, I was tying to get the frenzy sensation of the public market... that's why the blur... I'll do some shots during this weekend in another public market.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, you've captured the frenzy of the moving vegetables too. Try a larger aperture next time just for kicks. I think you will be more pleased with the results.

Thank you very much.

This shot, in a odd way, makes me long for New Orleans and having a walk down the farmer's market there at the end of the French Quarter. Of course, nowadays, I long for New Orleans. Maybe I'll get a chance to go this fall.
