I love the weekly farmers market in Madison WI. It is located on the capitol square in the heart of downtown. It attracts thousands of people each Saturday morning, which in turn attracts many food vendors, musicians and of course the farmers. It was a feast for all senses; the smell of freshly brewed coffee, music in the air and colorful flowers, vegatables and people everywhere.

Here are a few shots. I hope the convey a sense of how much fun this even is!

Oh Daddy this are fine, fine, fine ... an orgy of colour. Number one is unbeatable but number two is a bit softy, maybe a tad misfocus, number three well I would look at her ass too I have to say. Four again is striking, five is good but not that hot to me personally subject wise; six is simply beautiful and the kid sure has good genes judging from her mum.

I like the last one the best, but all are excellent photos. The woman holding the baby: her pose just is gorgeous, and the baby looking in your direction enhances the photo.

Great images, Chris.

Do you sharpen at all after resizing? I'm thinking that might help these. The sharpest image in the world won't look sharp anymore after resizing.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Curtis, I have never sharpened after resizing because it never occured to me! I generally just let it go at that point, but I think I will consider doing that for those images that I want to share with potential clients via e-mail. Thanks for the tip!
