Strong composition, but it seems very noisy (speckled look) It could be a by product of over sharpening or long exposure times in low light at the higher aperature settings.
As I'm sure you are aware, the noise in this image is a deal killer. If it were shot with a lower ISO (or with less post processing), I'd have to give this a 9. As it is, its a 7. The composition and lighting of the subjects is really good. Now just get the technical parts right and you have a potential ribbon winner.
I really like the contrast between the orange and green. I also think the lighting is very good in this photo. My only compliant, and it is very minor, is that it looks like it has a bit more unsharp mask for my tastes.
I like the lighting on this - the bottom of the orange pepper blends nicely into the border. Maybe could have gotten the left side of the pepper a bit darker as well.
I had the same idea and in my head this is how it should have looked. Good crop, great lighting. However you do by popular vote, congratulations on this shot.
