If you want to adjust your monitor, take a look at Norman Koren's monitor calibration page. It has a lot of good information. You may want to set your monitor gamma, that is a very important setting.
i don't see the cut outs/halos that everyone else is talking about. maybe that's why my own pictures look good to me and not to everyone else. hmmmm...
Turn up the brightness on your monitor. If you still can't see it then I think it is time to buy a new monitor.

Nice lighting and colors on the peppers. One thing I notice though, there's quite a bit of lighter area around the peppers though compared to the rest of the black background. There's a couple ways that would take care of this. My favorite way (since this is advanced editing) would be to use the quick mask tool and mask out the peppers (paint over the peppers with a hard-edged brush in the quick mask tool), then slide the brightness down a bit. Do that and you have a nice shot there.
I really like the contrast here, the red against the black background. But the cut out portion is visible?? Would have had a lot more "pop" if it were blended or cloned out..(5)
Looks like you either need to adjust your montior settings or are trying to be creative. I can see distinct cutout lines around the peppers and not even precise ones.
