 Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington.

I purposely left in the red radishes on the background corner to counter all the green colors.

Converted from RAW.



**** Post-challenge comment: ****

Woo hoo! My second-highest finish so far. Thanks all. This particular lizard gets around. Jace Land's entry featured the same one (or maybe's its sibling) LOL! As Jace said, Seattle is a great place for photography. I just happened to be in Seattle the week of this challenge and when it was announced, I knew Pike Place Market would have plenty of fruits and vegetables. What I also enjoyed about this shot is that right after I took it, I walked across the street to the very first (the original) Starbucks and had a Venti Guatemala Casi Cielo. ;-)

Congrats! What a great shot - so much sharp detail to explore. Terrific placement and a new second best, to boot! :)

Les, didn't realize this one was yours. I love how the lizard blends so seamlessly in with the beans. And good job with the radishes to provide a color foil.

First of all, I love lizards. Second you captured a really nice shot. One of the few F&V entries with life in it. The red radishes are a good touch of contrasting color. Congratulation on your good score and placement.

Nice shot! I gave this an 8 in voting. I liked the contrast the reds gave with the shades of green. Focus was spot on. And, I'm glad to see you took yours in the right date period. LOL.

Actually, I think leaving the radishes in was a good idea. It does contrast well. Nice detail.

I have to admit - I'm glad I don't shop there.

Great capture - good colours and focus.

Very cool, but I'm not sure if I'd shop there again.

OK, drop the bean and step away from the radishes.... Too funny and well executed.

Someone's sharing Godzilla! (Another shot, same kinda critter in the challenge). Like the pose and the color contrat of the green and red. Nicely done!

Great catch! IMHO a tighter crop would be nice.

OMG! It looks like you put him on the veggie display in a store! If you did, bet you had people scattering in every direction, lol. Excellent shot. I like the inclusion of the red veggies in the corner too.
