				Though that I'd go back a revisit a subject that almost everyone encounters in Photography 101. I'm sure someone can come and easily blow my doors off, but they're always colorful, interesting and tasty. Besides, it's a slow night.

				Good work Steve, good exposure, good colour, nice looking capsicums.

				Very nice Steve, though, I would have put the yellow one to the rear and the red one to the front.....
As you say, its a slow night,

				Steve - a nice composition of colours - now chop them up and eat them

				I really like this shot Steve. Thanks for posting it - basics are good.
If I HAD to offer some criticism it would be the loss of detail at the base of the red capsicum, but I'm sure you've spotted that yourself.

				Agree with everyone else... but this is the place for critique so here goes...
I agree I would have put the yellow one to the rear having the bright one in front draws the eye to quickly...
And the rear of the bottom capsicums is a little to dark... I dont know if this was impossible to avoid given your setup (studio?) but a reflector might have helped down there...

				I tend to agree with you. I placed them only considering size, but really should have thought about colour more. I tried to bounce a little light back on the left side with a reflector to avoid more highlights, but maybe that was in a different frame. Thanks for the good suggestions.

				You could look at the photo in a different perspective: The light comes from the right into the two light coloured capsicums and then leads out to dark through the red. This, to me, is a nice progression and gives the pic more of a still life feel
