Hot Peppers in Crystal Bowl

It looks like you are working as I do. If you have peppers available, why not take more than one photo of them. Very creative to put these two in a crystal bowl, and also in this photo I like the light pastels of the background.

Your photo is also nice and sharp showing clear and well defined details in the peppers, but I think the stem of the bowl could have been a bit more better defined. Still the all over exposure is fine.

The photo is nicely cropped and in this case it looks right with the centered position on the set up. I also like a lot the editing you have done. A lovely and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.

A beautiful still life. Congratulations on pretty much mastering the mixed media methods you've chosen. The color is gorgeous, i absolutely love the patina of the background. Staging of the glass and peppers is thoughtful and easy on the eyes.

From a technical standpoint, your photo works. The colors are appealing, the objects are in focus, and the composition is pleasant. But peppers in crystal just look odd to me, especially since the footed crystal looks more like a water goblet or sherbet dish to me. Peppers artfully arranged on wood or stone or in a pottery container would give the picture more warmth and interest.

What a peaceful and very creative still life. Your background works very well to bring the eye to the glass. It even works so very well despite the glass being in the middle. This glass and it's colors rinds me of a Mx restaurant. Blessings Always~ Cindy Sue ~

I like your idea of this still life. There is humor in having JalapeƱo in a glass. The colors are fine, bot I find the white spots below is slightly distracting.

A very nicely lit image. I like the bowl and the peppers much better than the background although the colors work well together.
