very nice arrangement and texture... the white background works very well here and I see you may have the same problem I have with my F707... the reds in the upper right are a little over saturated... I haven't quite figured out how to deal with that myself... I usually try to desaturate the red channel some with software... good shot :) = 7 - jmsetzler

Very strong colours--has this been pushed too much?--whatever it is very eye-popping

The colors are too bright with very high contrast. It looks almost overprocessed. Depite this, I still like it enough to give you a 6

I like the colors and the configuration...my s.o. doesn't like it cuz she doesn't like set shots. Texture is good... feel like it could be stronger in this regard. 5 sjgleah

the colors just seem to jump out of this shot....

These peppers definately fit the test of "texture". However, it looks like you may have gone overboard on levels and sharpening. Nice composition, as well as focus. The exposure looks okay, but I think the shadows are a bit dark and could use some more detail. *6* -balynch

good choice, framing, lighting.

too much contrast
07/25/2002 01:00:00 PM
The texture of several peppers, particularly the red/green one on top left, is very nice. This is a nice picture but what makes it weak is the composition. All the peppers on the right are red and that leads your eye right OUT of the pic. Perhaps 1-2 more large peppers shown in whole? Soft focus, or not enough definition, on the red green pepper on the bottom, mars the effect for me.

Good comparison of different textures on the same vegetable! Seems a bit too bright, especially the red at the top right. Maybe less brightness/contrast would have given a more realistic effect.

I like the composition of your photo very much, and it has very dramatic colors. So much so in fact, they appear a bit clipped.
07/24/2002 09:03:00 PM
Reds seem a bit extreme
07/24/2002 04:41:00 PM
What kind of light were you using? it seems to have given a purple cast to the shadows and some of the highlights within the peppers on the right. The textures are well handled even though they are subtle. There are leading lines toward the right red peppers and that works well. 9

The photo on my monitor seems overly saturated, especially in the reds. I don't particularly care for the old, declining peppers...although their texture IS different from the others. The arrangement of the peppers is not random enough to be random (all stems pointed inward) nor static enough to form a pattern. IMHO

This would make a cool print in a restaurant.

Very nice. I like the clean simple arrangement. Colors are great and there is good sharp focus. Good job!
07/23/2002 07:13:00 PM
Neat. like the peppers on the left very much. the reds in the upper right corner seem a bit clipped though, and the texture is lost.

Wow - I just commented on about 20 pictures that had too little colour. And now I find this one that has too much. Plenty of texture there but the vibrant, almost blocks of colour distract too much from it.
07/23/2002 11:03:00 AM
The reds are slightly over saturated. The focus is just slightly soft. In any case I still like the shot. 7

Great composition! I love your choice of background... That crisp white really makes your colors pop.
07/22/2002 03:46:00 PM
This is a really jazzy and fun shot. I like how the colors just *pop*
07/22/2002 03:24:00 PM
Great photo, but the intensity and the contrast just don't work for me. Still nice work.

Good color, composition, and very nice response to the challenge.

Nice Shadows! I'd buy this picture for my kitchen!
