I wish the stems were still on the green peppers. Curious how you made the reflection as I had a similar shot during Shapes challenge?

Nice still life. The subdued lighting and the reflection works really well here

Nice idea and realization. Maybe a little bit to much water in the pepper IMO. 7

Beautiful, love the colors against the background, really makes a strong impact. The water drops really give it a fresh feel, nicely done!

if you would have cropped out the reflection on the bottom it would have been a better.

The one orange pepper and its reflection make this work well.

Great colors and sharpness, but might be better cropped. Reflection is a bit distracting.

great lighting and nice clear shot

I don't think this benefits from the reflection. The top half would be fine.

Very pleasant to look at - well lit, the peppers seem to glow - especially the orange one. I wish the reflection wasn't cut off at the bottom, I'd prefer a bit of black space at the bottom and more black at the top - perhaps placing the line between reflection and subject right on the thirds line.

Good idea for this one. I quite like it. The dew adds a lot, nice touch.

Peppers never looked so good, haha! I like the lighting and the sharp details.

I was looking at a portfolio today that had a lot of pepper shots in it. I'm making a bet with myself as to who this image belongs to. :) I love sweet orange bells, and this image is a standout. Nice use of light, reflection, mist on the subject.

This is fantastic! The only tiny nitpick I can find is that the reflection is cut off - hardly even worth mentioning though. Really outstanding shot. Great job. 9

Really nice photo. You can't go wrong with a good pepper.

Bump the saturation and include all the reflection to improve.
