I thought I would not stand more splash photos this year. Then I saw this one and immediately liked it. Awesome colors. 8.

My first instinct is: very, very nice! Good lighting, obviously good studio setup...I give it an 8. I hope it does well.

*I am only commenting, and not voting on this challenge*

Water. Check.

Pepper. Check.

Radial Gradient Background. Check.

Sharp, smooth and compositionally sound? Check.

Hmm, seems like a nice DPC photo. Only thing I can think of that'll hit you is, other than having everything else a ribbon winner needs, it just completely lacks any real punch of interest, and *some* may see it as a blatant attempt to "play the game". (which there is nothing wrong with, but boy, if you overplay certain elements, look out ;))

My favourite of the vege shots. You might have gotten some comments about people not liking the crop (my guess, could be totally wrong) but I think the framing is great here. I like the mild vignetting also.

You have met the challenge nicely, but the big flash spot on the pepper really takes away from the image... 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like this a lot. It's simple, and is a great representation of the challenge. One of just a few 10s this time around.

pitty the pepper wasn't orange
04/26/2006 11:19:45 PM
good shot

5 - Clean enough. Meets the Challenge and the capture of the water is quite good. Just not holding my attention enough. Perhaps more height here, including incorporating more pepper/orange, slightly tighter crop on the left and trying to reduce the glare, make this even better in my opinion.

04/26/2006 02:46:15 PM
Correct colours - washed out though.
04/26/2006 02:32:02 PM
Very nice lighting on both subject and background to give separation. I might have removed a bit more of the green stem but, hey, that's just me.
