I had a lot of fun with this, my first attempt at taking a photo with a studio feel. My ´´studio`` consisted of a chair in my bedroom covered with a black cloth (hence the grainy look of the background). I took advantage of the afternoon sunlight by positioning the chair close to the bedroom window and used a small torch to re-create the feel of genuine studio lighting. I would have liked the photo to be a little crisper, and unfortunately the green pepper came out a little darker than I would have liked, but I guess that gives me something to improve on next time.

Cropping is a little too tight at the bottom of the frame. There also seem to be lots of reflections, maybe a less harsh light source could have been used?
oh my you need contrast... adjusting the brightness and contrast so the background is just washed out black negative space will add a whole lot more drama and really make the colors pop... great focus and DoF though... you make have needed some camera adjustments to help with the lighting issue as well
