I like this one, Alice! The motion is quite obvious and the lighting and colors work great in this shot.

Good composition. I see the motion part but for me it seems to only exist to meet the challenge. I wish it played a bigger, more meaningful role, in the shot. Other than that not a bad shot. Good luck.

The motion takes too much of a back seat in your shot. I'm also left wondering: why are there peppers on rocks by a stream? It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The colors on the peppers look great, although I would have chosen something other than two yellow peppers. The flowers are a nice touch.

You've controlled the exposure of the peppers well, except the red one, it looks a bit grainy and noisy to me but it might be my monitor. Can't deny it fits the challenge but I've no idea why you photographed this lol - maybe you're a creature of impulse who does things because you feel like it. Well done anyway

Nice. The colors, composition, idea, all good. I'd like the top of the red pepper to be sharper, but it's great otherwise.

Colors are incredible but the movement is a bit hard to detect. I think the water is a bit slow running or.....

Nice pepper color choice. I would have liked to have seen more movement with the water for a little stronger effect.
