 First - I think peas are nasty little mushy veggies.

Second - I'm well aware that this is gonna flop. It's not peaceful or harmonious and it's not technically all that perfect. BUT I just thought of the title - and it had to be done.

Enjoy!

Nice composition, the peas look too, real not shiny and spotless like on the label. The peas need more makeup, or shot in the raw.

Well casting aside for a moment your dislike of peas (surely your ire would be better focused on natures real sins...broccoli and sprouts)

The shot and the title did both make me smile. I was slightly put off by the water underneath the peas (where they frozen and had just started to melt?). Nice complementary colours and I liked the dof you used

LOL!! Peas are best eaten raw, by the way. Preferably right after you pull the pod off the vine. Then they are crunchy and sweet and absolutely wonderful.

You know for an oob take on the challenge theme, this did pretty well - top third of the challenge, even if the score is middling. If I weren't already inclined to like peas, your tasty image here would go far to sway me in their favor! :) I especially like that you thought to include the flower, something non-traditional in what could have been just a standard food shot.

Thats pretty funny. I hadnt thought of peas as nasty and mushy, but thats a pretty mushy depiction of them. And yes, we should give them a chance!

Love and Peas...
Peas full easy feelings (maybe that's beans)
Sorry I am getting carried way. Cool picture and a great sense of humour

I think the peas pun is funny, but where the connect to the flower ?? I'm lost :)

Great shot, would be better if more of it were in focus. The colors mesh nicely.

Still a fun pun this even if it wanders around the DNMC line. Like the colourful composition here.

Well, they're as peaceful-looking as any other vegetable I've ever seen ;-) Certainly a different and interesting composition.

I like the idea, I think all the peas being in focus would work slightly better

This is a nice image. Unfortunately I think the peas pun doesn't work.

Cute, but a bit odd... Not really "Peace"...just my opinion.
