lower left side shadow - Is it you? Black dot next to the banana pepper, what's that? (let me know if you care to) I am too much a novice to judge those things.
I like the clarity of the photo and the arrangement, the bannana pepper leads you into the photo - the main tomato vine carries the torch to the garlic, the garlic sprouts point to the stem of the yellow pepper...in any case the arrangement really keeps the eye "in" the photo. The black background really contributes to the presentation. The shadows on the veggies are great too, especially the onion skin! The vine under the main vine of the tomatoes is distracting as it seems to reflect the lighting (?) Still I like it a lot. 8
Very nice still life...well, mostly. The lighting, exposure, and focus are all right on (great DOF!). However, something weird going on on the left side background as I'm seeing some light and dark patches. Anyway, good luck in the challenge.
This is nice the veg looks good. There is a black spot next to the yellow pepper on the left. I like the textures of the garlic and onion next to the smooth tomatoes and peppers.
