Cool image. Nice lighting and textures. I know there's a message in here somewhere, but I'm not reading it. What is coming out of the grinder?

Clever take on the challenge theme. Plenty of "peace" going around, but not as you've done. Potential stock sales with this one I would think as well. Normally I would say the lighting is a little harsh, but the shadows actually work to fill in the lines of your "drawing" here. Should do well with this. Good luck.

A Peas Offering

You brave soul, bringing woody into this. ;^) Actually, I quite like it. The DOF choice works well and I like the color selected for the background (rather than the standard black or white). Well focused and sharp where needed. Well done!

Give "Peas" a Chance...

Took a minute to figure out what was going on with that second setting in the back. Made me look longer, which is good thing I guess. ;^)

I like your selective desat choice on this, the title works, and the image is well presented and technically sound. Well done!

Guys, I don't think this is our pod!

Cute idea. ;^) It's a bit static however. Nothing really saying 'Wow' in the composition. It's just there, know what I mean? Nothing personal. Negative space can work, as can centered subjects, at times, but doesn't seem to be adding anything to the impact of this shot. Maybe in tighter, a little angle? Could be a little sharper perhaps too? Just throwing some ideas out there. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Sound Bites

What is it? For the life of me I can't associate 'Sound' with what the peas are sitting on top of. I'm sure once I'm told it will fit into place, but for now I'm not getting it...sorry. I like your choice of using a diagonal placement and the black background works fine. Good luck in the challenge.

This could have worked if the image was in focus. The background, is it supposed to be black? Some levels adjustment or B/W points might help with that a little. Keep at it...and good luck.

Dicey Peas

Clever idea. Adjusting the color temp of your image would remove the bluish cast and make your whites a little whiter (unless you were using blue to symbolize cold?). For greater impact it might have helped to fill the rest of the frame with peas also instead of leaving the top open. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

I eat my peas with honey

Cute...must be a popular saying as I've seen it a couple of times now. ;^) I'm thinking you're selling the message more than the challenge subject (peas). The peas are underexposed and in shadows. The white of the note in the foreground is not white enough - needs some adustments (levels, histogram, curves, B/W points...most any of these should do it). All of this is JMO of course. ;^) Good luck in the challenge.

What, you never saw a giant pea before???

Clever title, but don't depend on the title alone to sell your image to the voters. I'm thinking you're going to get hammered for not having an actual 'pea' in your entry. The toddler's face is well focused but the DOF is too shallow to pull the hands and ball into focus - which is important as the green ball is your primary subject. All JMO of course. ;^) Good luck in the challenge.
