Critique Club - While this is a very centered composition, it is pleasing. The pink peppers don't seem a realistic color to me for this type of pepper (being from Central Texas I see a lot of these in real life). However, your arrangement of them is artful, your focus is sharp, and depth of field perfect. I also like the glow from the white plate they are sitting on - gives it a "grounded" feel. Interesting take on the challenge.

I had this figured for a much higher placing.
Smooth & refined, yet humorous at the same itme.

Now, here is a howdy do! Never seen them like this before. Imagine such a cool color from something so hot. Very well captured and color converted to a spicy work of art. 7 on first pass.

Returning for comment:
the pink of those peppers look a bit strange. Is that their real color or was it PS'ed?
Nice composition and a good focus.
Over all a great job.

I suspect that the pink in these pepper is more from Photoshop then nature but in the end it does not matter to me, either way you ended up with a very nice photo�7
