There are so many things in thie picture that it detracts from the focus on the peppers. There should also be a bit of refelction on the spoon to set it off more from the pepper. I think I'd try to get more of the frame filled as well.
Looks good. How did it taste? One thing which you could have done was to get rid of that crease. It doesn't add anything to the picture, and only distracts from the main subject.
Interesting idea for this challenge: sweet/sour, "hot"/cold, vegetable/fruit(?) ( It makes me a little hungry--now I'm going to have to come up with reasons to shoot ice cream, too. ) Possible improvements: smooth out the cloth a bit more, shoot faster so the ice cream doesn't soup up, provide secondary light source to minimize the shadow and harsh highlights. Overall, yummy pic.
It´s an OK idea but I dont think it´s very well performed. Think that this kind of photography works best with very shallow DOF where only the main-subject is in focus. The angel isn´t very good either and I think it would have been better to make it more simple, f. inst. only the jalapeno and the icecream.
