I'd just podded my pea harvest, thought they looked good enough to photograph; a mint leaf seemed to fit nicely with them.

crop, levels, sat on yellows, gradient map set to overlay and high pass filter to help with contrast.

Are you sure those are peas? They look huge! :)

I think this photo would have been better if the leaf had been left out? Not sure, maybe then it would have been bland? Just think the leaf isn't working!

Very unattractive coloring.

The two different textures is what does it for me in your shot. The lighting on the peas feels a little washed-out, but I can understand because it happens alot in my own photos. Good job!

Very nice light and shading in this, like the muted greens also. A little bit on the uninteresting side, compositionally.

Wow, the sharpness of this photo and the dramatic difference in textures really makes it pop. Nice work.

This is a nice shot and a really appealing balance between shades of green.

With the flat dof, it loses some spark. I would have liked it if the peas were a bit out of focus, drawing the eye to the leaf. Or setting the leaf off to one side or the other of the shot. Any of that or some other method to improve the contrast between subjects would improve the shot, but really nice overall.
