Very interesting lighting and composition. It's a little bit out of focus, but you might have done that on purpose......9

Great textures here. The subject's lighting is excellent and the composition is nicely done, too.

You have texture and contrast here, but I am left short on interest. A great documentary picture. 6

This is cute... very very original idea! I like it... from the thumbnail I thought there were goldfish in the icecubes! hehehe... I'm relieved that it's chillies instead. Very nicely done. I'm adding it to my faves

The softness and gentleness your shot convey is a testimony IMO to your skill at lighting, really its a dying/dead leaf (i think), yet you have made it a thing of wonder, what an amazing job. It looks fragile and weathered, yet life seems to still be fitting in it. Quite curious how you got the lighting this way. Is it a lightbulb behind some kind of paper helping to soften it? simply lovely IMO

nice light job. would be excellent also, if we had that "death" challenge which has been discussed

Comment by KevinRiggs:
Good idea. Very creative.

The lighting is a little hot on some of the ice cubes but the matte finish to the plastic bag (my assumption) under the cubes in the shot helps to dull down the light. This shows some forethought. I like the way the hot subjects tend to protrude from the cold storage.

This was good for a definite giggle - very cute. Nice layout of the entombed peppers, also. I wonder whether softer lighting might have been better - the light on the peppers and ice cubes works well, but the reflections in the water droplets and off the plastic (?) backdrop, I find a bit distracting.
