Rejected by the Restaurant

This was an attempt to come up with a picture that could hang in a restaurant. Joe says it would be rejected because the the dirt (which I had sort of liked).

For the June theme "hangitall" that features pictures you would hang in restaurant (June1 - 7) http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/25622/hang-it-all

I like the whole presentation, and the dirt does add to it

A worthy "hanger". I like the wisps of light in background giving the whole capture a three dimensional look.

[Leigh Anne Sanderson]

I love it!

[GaryW]

Very nice shot! Love the background, it really makes the peppers stand out. I have to agree with Joe...I like a clean look.

[Taffy]

Heehee! Yep, restaurants want pristinely clean looking food. But I think it makes for an interesting photograph!

[gloria jones]

Ha, ha...Great shot, composition...I'm thinking the dirt would have to go :)

[Kate]

Cool theme! Love the photo. I bet they'd hang it in an organic restaurant, it's very realistic!!

[Sally Ings]

Lovely colour. Maybe a vegetarian or vegan establishment would hang it, dirt and all.

[Joyce]

Like the way you've composed this and the dirt gives it a sense of reality!

[Sam]

I like it with the dirt! Does this make me dirty?

[gracefulloser]

Ah, that pop of green. Nothing is better than scrolling down my newsfeed and seeing some color (although I admittedly make rather dreary photos myself color-wise lol). I like the dirt as well, I have to admit.

[Joan Robillard]

Good 365 photo.

[Rick Schies]

Well you could easily clone that out

[Ann H. LeFevre]

True- we don't want the patrons to think they'll be getting unwashed vegetables! But it is definitely a great shot as far as the detail and color goes!

[Stephomy]

Wow, what kind of pepper is that? All my peppers are still working on their flowers.
