I thought I'd use this challenge to make my first attempt at food photography, combining two of my passions ... a love of food and cooking and a love of photography. I was originally trying for a shot that looked like it could appear in a cookbook or alongside a recipe in a magazine, but my food styling technique (and -- post challenge -- lighting) still needs some work:
So I went with this more close-in shot, showing the main ingredient in the foreground and some of the other ingredients blurred behind. Enjoy!

The colours are nice as is the use of a shallow DoF, however the lighting lets this down. My eyes are constantly drawn to the hotspots on the lager peppers.
