 Thought of this when I was staring at the can.
Oven setup with oven light. Some smoke from a match or 3.

Post process includes:
USM
Crop
Sat lvls
Noise reduction

Was going to do this B&W with green peas but I thought the blue was too nice to cut out.

Hi from the Critique Club!

I think this photo was a good idea but I think the execution could use a little work.

First, I think this photo is pulled down with all the dark and drab colors in the background. Nothing really pops in my opinion. The image seems too busy and my eyes just go all over the place, only to lead back to the piles of peas depicted on the can.

Second, the use of your elements along with someone else's picture on the can is sort-of making this image fall short of the mark. The angle is unimaginative.

The focus is really sharp though. With a little more work you could have a really great image.

That's just my two cents.

:)

OK pic. I wonder how many points you'll lose for the corniness factor...

would have worked better with maybe some crust baked around it.

The straight-on view is your biggest enemy here IMO. A more interesting angle/composistion would help enormously.

Nice pun! Execution has its ups and downs. The "smoke" is great.
