Congrats on another top 20! Fabulous lighting and color on this one. Had you actually formed "art" out of the peppers, the visual story would be complete, and you'd have a ribbon. ;-)
EDIT- With this shot, you now have 5 of the top 12 highest-scoring photos for your camera. You're the Nikon 4300 queen!
Like the hi key in this very much as well as the great reflections in the knife and the wonderful colors. Not a real pepper fan, food wise, but the doo make for an interesting, colorful subject. My only nit is to have had some more green up front, but the composition works well without it. Good luck!
Great use of a wide, clean blade to create the reflections, color on the green pepper seems a bit desaturated or flat, the red pepper really sticks out and the action of cutting gives this a nice feel. The negative space at the top detracts from the whole, either more peppers are needed in that space to keep the aspect ration of the desired print or the crop should be shortened at the top to emphasize the focus of the blade in action.
Knives...usually sharp. Your picture...incredibly sharp. So sharp, in fact, there is a clear stair-stepping evident in the areas of high contrast. I think this works to the advantage of this picture. Well done.
Nice picture, but you have an aliasing (jagged lines) problem.
When resizing you should try an higher quality method, or try to progressively resive in small steps (less then 25%)
The top edge of the knife blade has something going on, some jaggies or over sharpeniing..perticularly noticeable inside the orange pepper. A bit distracting.
