Freshly picked off on of my very loaded plants. Shot on white poster board with flash and slave with a CD as a reflector :-) I used masking tape doubled over to hold the pepper upright.

I am always a fan of these types of shots. In this case, I love it for the amount of white space. I think it adds to the composition. Without so much white space, it would have been just another jalepeno shot. Would have gotten a 9 from me.

Congratulations on a good finish with this simple, but yet effective photograph.
I like the use of negative space here. The subject is lighted quiet well with the background being pure white without any gradation. Also a good work on setting the white balance correctly to get the whites and true green color.
What I would have changed is the shadow and not let is extend on the right of jalapeno, which I believe would mean a brighter reflector.
In summary, a very well photographed image which deserves a high score
