good shot but more DOF would have made it better . 7

A little more contrast would help.

I love weston's images and I am an avid fan of his work. From knowing his work and seeing your interpretation of it, may I suggest that the distinction between true blacks and whites be made so as to make this image pop. As it is, the contrast seems too low. I like your take on his "Pepper" image though which is quite different from his versions. I think this is the intent of this exercise - that is to emulate someone but still leave a little of your own interpretation. Great try ;) 5

Nice sharp shot, love the composition. I think the blacks could be blacker, at least thats how it looks on my monitor.

Good composition and use of DOF. There isn't any true blacks in the photo and i think that causes it to have a flat feel to it..

This is quite nice! Weston's pepper shots are among my favorites. There is a great point of view here, and the lighting is okay, too. It seems a bit hazy, though. Try using Unsharp Mask at a very high pixel radius but low percentage to get rid of the haze. Good work.

lacks of tonal range, focus should IMO be on first pepper, not on second
