A very nice entry for the still life photo contest. You did the back ground color so perfectly with the color of the peppers. The focus is great and the lighting is good. You framed it just right. Good luck

I wish I had a six to give you for this. It is perfect in it's simplicity. Three peppers, set just right in the center of the picture. The reflection of the brilliant colors and the pale yellow background make this multi-special.

I like the positioning of the peppers (capsicums in Australia) and the color. Not sure about the lighting which I think reflects a little too much taking away the definition of the pepper themselves. Focus is good.

I really like the simplicity of this still life photo, both when it comes to the set up and the limited color pallet. It also has a very delicate look with the pastel colored background, and the yellow peppers are standing out from it in an excellent way.

Your photo is also nice and sharp showing such clear and well defined details in all the peppers, and the exposure is just perfect, bringing out the fine shine in them.

The filters you have used are indeed working well, and I also think the photo is nicely cropped. The peppers have got a very good placement within the frame. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

rake out the seeds, cut up the skin and rock and rol with many kinds of meals..wink. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of the peppers and reflection is great. the capture of the light is great. the setup is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Man you crushed this one. I absolutely love it. The color gradient from foreground to background is perfect. The darker orange at the bottom lifts your eyes to the chili peppers and then gradually cools down as you move to the background. The rule of thirds is well applied. The focus of the Chili's can't get better than this. If ever there was a winner this must be it.

I like this a lot. Your post processing has done a beautiful job in giving a watercolor flair to the reflection. Nice. I also like the solfter colors you have picked up behind the peppers. That hint of blue in the right upper corner gives a bit of depth to the background. I like that too!

As someone who does lots of post processing I would have struggled with keeping the peppers in enough detail I think you have done a good job of that. This Would look awesome framed and hanging in my kitchen! :D
