Like the use of softness and saturation in 8, like it a lot actually! But in some of the others where clarity/sharpness is dialled to 11, the vibrant of those colours (is it the same market?) come off as too much for my cup of tea.

Looks like you had great bit of fun, your making me want to visit the Philippines!

Thanks Mate.

I created my own preset that i was happy and applied it to most and tweaked the exposure, contrast and vibrants a bit.

The main aim was to show lots of colour for these shots as the market is vibrant and colourful in person

I kind of like it. It's completely unrealistic, but looks like graffiti or something, just a celebration of completely wacky florescence. In that sense, the more mundane shots (with colour boost) don't really work, it's the ones packed with over-the-topness throughout the frame that work better for me (as art, not photos).
