This is set up indoors with natural light as part of a series of food & drink related subjects I attempt periodically. Any suggestions for improvement always welcome

summerbreezing,

Moving cup to the same position on the right, and peppers to the same position on the left, would have peppers pointing toward cup instead of out of frame. Having peppers out of focus is iffy: if they are universally recognizable from colors and general shape, it's OK. Subtler, anyway. Nice play in word/pics.

Thanks for the input Jiminy. I agree about reversing the positions. I think I put them that way because of the light but hadn't thought about the position of the chilis. Still happily learning!

summerbreezing,

You are welcome, and if uncertainty comes up before taking a shot, checking it with a small hand mirror can give you the answer, whether to rearrange, and how. Another tool in the kit.
