The chili's are out of focus. Possibly focusing on the chili's, then carefully dropping the camera down to take the rest of this picture would have helped. The ridges of the plate they are sitting on seems to be in focus. Should be the other way around. Composition could have been a little better by arranging the chilis so they take up the entire top portion of the plate and hang down in a more uniform pattern. I love the idea of the photo. I love the contrast in color.
It looks to me that you did too much in post processing. The peppers bleed into each other and their shine is not sharp like it is naturally. Good idea though. 5
Very nice concept! Personall I feel it is upside down(but that's only opinion, I wouldn't deduct for it). There is definitely a problem with the lighting, a little too much on the bottom, which results in glare.
