WOW! I really like that. It looks like it should be in a commercial.

I like the effect on the flames but it seems to conflict with the props in the shot

flames are very noisy and blurry

nice idea but the item that the peppers and glass are sitting on looks weird. theres that seam onthe left hand corner and then the light change down the middle. its distracting. hope that helps.

The idea is excellent, but the execution is sloppy. the visible line across the bottom and through the middle of the table near the glass kill your surface, and the flames look totally overprocessed. The processing brought out a fair bit of noise, and the whole image needs sharpening. This would have been excellent done much more subtly - keep the glass of peppers as is, fix the surface, tone down the flames (put a but more darkness behind the peppers in the glass), pay more attention to clarity, and keep the photo looking more real.

Had something here I can see it! I like the idea. I don't like the garbage bag. I think the lighting is a tad harsh and the background seem to printed. But the peppers are a nice compositional element. Tad OOF and could be sharper. Meets the Challenge I give a generous 6

I think the grain and the haloing is what really hurts this shot. I like the idea (I am a fan of spicy foods!), the colors, and the composition.

mmm, spicy! I think if the flames had been closer and the table's horizon straighted, it might have been better. 8

it's good but there are a few distractions and ideas that might improve it...the stuff that the glass is on is super distracting and the sharpness and noise are troublesome...but on a positive note, I like the composition and idea, well done 7
