Greetings from the Critique Club
First, congratulations on a great score and great placement for your first challenge entry! As for meeting the challenge, you definitely nailed it! I think nearly everyone can relate to the action your image depicts, and I'm quite glad to hear that your hubby survived without requiring first aid!
This image scored very well, despite as many have pointed out the lack of crisp, clear focus. Composition is strong, with the knife forming a nice angle to both the hand and the pepper, and good placement of the subjects in the frame.
The color is excellent, in both the red and the green of the pepper and the flesh tones in the hand. The background has a bit of a yellow cast to it - if you use Photoshop (and it helps if you ask for critiques to post your editing steps in the comments), try doing a simple "Autolevels" - it really brightens up the background without altering the colors. Also, since I'm not sure of your processing, a little sharpening will help a bit with the soft focus.
Congrats on a great score, and keep shooting! |

| Great shot, nice composition, well lit and very stupid. It is only spoilt by the slight fuzziness. It looks like the focus is to far back. |

| Everything is great but the focus, just not crisp enough. Otherwise would be excellent. |

| Great concept, seems soft--a little bit better lit would have earned ya a higher score yet. |
