My favorite black velvet backdrop came in handy again.

I totally agree with the commenters who said the yellow pepper should go. I winced every time I looked at it once it was in competition.

I would have prefered if the surface woulkd have had a break with the background as the subject seems to be floating in mid air.

the pepper(yellow thing) is slightly distracting from a wonderful photo - i keep looking away and back and get to the pepper and wonder what it is or if fabric is in front of it on the bottom. without the pepper thing 9 with it a 7 - cuz its still an excellent photo.

classic still life so you get extra credit :). The subjects are so unlrelated that it confuses me and I don't know if I like it or love it. Either way your lighting is fantastic. I love the fact that you used a softbox to get those beautiful transparent specular highlights (or at least you recreated that look with whatever you used!). I'm having a hard time comeing up with a final score ... 9 for now but I really wished that pepper wasn't there.
