Another "peas" shot. This one is much more interesting to me. Great reflections on the inside of the container, and the central blade (?) gives me a place to focus. But I find top shadow distracting.
not sure why this would be wanted for chrismass but what ever floats your boat ;-) as for the technicals I feel the lighting is harsh, and it its over exposed, that piece of metal seems to be the center of attention (where my eye is drawn) not the peas,
this looks just slighly over-exposed. Also the shadow on the top of the photo really throws the photo off balance, imho, and makes the lighting look harsh. The colors and the shallow dof are perfect, though. :)
