I love the lighting and quality of this image. I would love to know what your processing techniques were. I see softness, but without it being blurred. The expression on the woman's face is terrific. And the food looks yummy too!

Thanks 'depth. Here is the camera data:
1/320 sec, f/3.5, ISO 100, 18mm. As for processing, the only thing I did was in PS I added a diffuse glow, found under . There was an intense band of winter morning light coming through this stand, which creates those really blown out areas.

Wonderful shot - this will be featured for sure.

I really like the glow in the cookers, an the tones are great too! Excellent Shot!

This is excellent Matt. The data and processing info is interesting. Great shot.

Thanks Matt - I wasn't sure whether what I was seeing was done with Gaussian blur and masking or ??. I like it! I also like the high key effect of the lighting. Blown out whites work sometimes.

Great shot. WHen I see that white winter light I kow it's cold out. Really captures the cold outside and the heat inside. Very nice.

Time to break out the hot chili oil and soy vinegar.
The photo is so good, it makes me want a potsticker. :)
