Are You a Pepper, Too?

Hello from �lex, CTP MkII

First Impression: Funny and clever take on an original subject.
Composition: Very nice, with the descending line from left to right, well balance with the red on both sides.
Subject: Funny, original. We don't have Dr Pepper on Spain, but they look antique.
Technical: as you say, the lighting can be improved, the shadows of the wall are, at least, strange. Colors are very natural.
Improvement: As you said, lighting. Hoping to see your new versions of the shot.
Summary: Funny, good composition and some flaws on the light.

Hi from Cpt2

I liked this I gave it a 7.

I like the bottles (my dad collects old medicine bottles. the splash of red makes it an interesting photo. It would have been dull otherwise, I think.
The comp is ghood it leads one to the red pepper. The flowers are very pretty:)

nicely done and well done on your top 3!!

Greetings from CTP2

Technicals:
The lighting on the bottles is really good. I like the soft/diffused specular highlights. I kinda wish the pepper had some of that on the front side of it like the bottles. I always picture peppers being shiny so this one feels a bit dull in comparison. The shadow cast in the background feels a bit out of place but it's not too distracting.

Subject/composition:
I like the choice in subjects and how you arranged them. I don't think I've ever seen those old looking Dr. Pepper bottles before. That really adds a classic look and feel to the image as well as the addition of flowers.

Suggestions for Improvement:
I like it the way it is but to do better in the challenges I think the back wall needs to be more evenly lit without that shadow and a shinier pepper would have really sealed the deal with voters, IMO.

Edited for spelling.

Good photo! A lot of fun to look at.

However, all those open 5ths in the treble line would sound awful. : )
