The concept is excellent. The color contrasts of blue, yellow, green and reddish orange are very nice choices for this image. Generally it is too soft focused for my taste and could use a little noise reduction in the sky. The general overall lower quality of the image hurts it.
very original composition
background is nice and contrasting
i'd be interested to see what the setup for this photo looked like from a different angle :)
Your perspective gives an interesting effect. The pepper is a little too central. Cropping a little off the bottom and including a little bit more sky would probably improve the composition without changing the affect too much.
Nice, proportions wonderfully done. Color saturation does the image good, birds nicely small comparied to the pepper. Is the background "real" or is it a picture?
eye-catching and nice.
