Wow great photo! I really like the neutral angle and the closeup on those peppers because you can see all the little details. The lighting is such that you can infer this was a sunny day. This was also possibly a sunny place so that these peppers could be grown. The leading lines of the stem allow you to see all the peppers. There is also a soft focus on the peppers. Keep up the good work!

I absolutely love this photo. The contrast in color and texture is extremely eye catching.
The first thing I saw was the peppers because of their striking color and my eye ends there. My eye goes from the peper to the left to the straight stems. Form there my eye travels up to the top of where the pepper is connected and then the viewer follows the curve around back to the pepper.
I also notice the soft focus that partly blurs the photo and its edges. It give a softer feel that is contrasted by the colors.
The lighting suggests a kind of gray day. The peppers look to be thriving though and it looks earthy. You seem to get the best of the Earth in this picture because of it's colors.
Also the picture seems so alive. The texture and lively color of the pepper seem fierce and loud but the beautiful sharp green shows the vibrant life of the photo.
This is a picture to enjoy because the viewer can see liveliness and beauty in the succulent colors and the appearence of a living thing thriving.

Great picture! The closeup shot really lets us see the intricate details of the pepper. I think its really interesting how the pepper is all wrinkled. It makes you think about all of the weather and history that pepper has been through as it grew. Also, the creases in the pepper contrast with the soft focus, balancing out the photo. The stalks of the plant create leading lines upwards and back to the other peppers. Also, the bright light adds to the contrast of the intense red and greens of the pepper plant. Good job!
