Great choice of background color to complete a warm feel with the peppers. Something with the water drops feels out of place here... perhaps the way they pool up once they slide off the peppers.

I like how the peppers go dark, light, lightest.

The right hand side of the bottom chilli is a little out of focus, should be easy to control depth of field in a studio set-up.
