I'm no good at hidden mickeys. It was right there on the colander.
Color looks good, in the photo. Ketchup is spicy for me so my eyes are watering just looking.

If I may suggest...
Maybe try a crop or composition more towards the rule of thirds. Put the subject 1/3 from either side and or 1/3 from top or bottom. For some reason it is more pleasing in the human brain. With a moving subject leave the open 2/3 in the direction of the action.

I'm getting inspired by the board. I may sit the dogs down tonight for some photos. We realy do not hav any of the new guy, fred.

thanks for sharing.

I agree with the rule of thirds suggestion. Also maybe try shooting from a different angle--perhaps get down a little lower, and try to vary the height of the items in the composition (like put one or more of the canisters behind the colander on a book or something).

Great colors! Those peppers look delicious!

First off, congratulations on your obviously fabulous garden!!! I seem to kill everything that i plant...

as far as the picture goes, try tipping the colander on it's side and letting your harvest spill out of it cornucopia style. let the peppers spill out in front of it as well, very visually pleasing and a little differnt as well...good luck!
