This would be more provocative if it weren't a PEA challenge. Thechnically it's OK, I think your background could be a bit less noticeable (wrinkles in the back) but it's good enough. The point of this shot seems to be the play on words. But it's just peas... Oh well. Good luck.
Ewwwww. The jar would have been a nice prop for "Pea Sample" if simply filled with peas, but the colored liquid (I won't speculate on what it is) really kills the appeal IMO.
Eeeewwww! :D Subject matter aside, technically, I feel the flash is too intrusive here. Perhaps diffused or window light may have been the better option?
I won't touch the subject of this image (pun not intended). As for image quality - flash lighting is quite harsh and it's ruined your effort at a clean white background (if that's what you were attempting). Natural lighting from a window can work well if you don't have other options besides flash available. Good luck!
