I had this idea almost the minute I saw the challenge announced. I was at a buffet/salad place with my son. I paid him 5 dollars to pose, as we sat at the booth, eating. Did he touch those peas?? No way!!

Great photo, I like the expression of the child in the background. It reminded me of myself and my dislike for peas. I like the black and white combined with the highlighted peas in color. It seems like the peas aren't quite in focus.
Selective desaturation is an overused technique I feel but I do like your use of it here to put the focus on the peas. It works perfectly with the shallow DOF used to the same purpose. Expression on your model's face is spot on!
Tee hee. . . .even tho there are some really really cute photos here in this challenge. . .and some very well done ones, this one is my favorite! What a cute idea!
that's hillarious!!! great dof...background is possibly a little too subdued and the peas could do with some levels adjustment...the selective desaturation is a great idea 7
