IMO, the whites could be toned down just a touch - just enough to add a few more speckles of detail in the stem and the highlights at R. A non-textured bg might be better as well. Of course, this isn't really B/W, but voted as if it were.
I've heard Bret Weston speak, and seen John's gallery in Carmel, CA. Love the detail. Your picture has a sensual quality due to highlighting. I believe you are on the right track.
I don't like the fact that this pepper is clipped at the bottom but I do like the lighting and shadows that have been cast..... This isn't traditional black and white.. it seems to have a greeinish tint to it...
Not a bad shot, but unfortunately, a better one was submitted. Light background would've given more contrast and polishing/drying the pepper would've helped, too, IMO. I like how close you moved in
This capsicum (that's what we call them in my country) has more texture than the other capsicum shot I've seen so far. The composition is a bit more interesting too. I don't really find that I like these photos though.
