That avatar is awesome.

Ase far as the pictures go.

#1 is a tad dark with bad shadows.
#2 is good, but you've lost the detail on the side.
#3 The background does not work for me.

The image also looks a bit lifeless as is and a tad soft on the bottom of the pepper. The color looks good.

But you just asked for my opinion, so don't be offended I'm no pro.

I don't like the 3rd one even a little bit...it just looks completely dull. If I had to choose from the other 2, it would be the first. Also not a pro, but know what I like.

I agree with Jeff, of the 3, #2 is the best. I don't like #3 at all.

Another vote for #2. I think you need a little fill on the left side.

#4 looks best. Now it feels like I'm at the eye doctor.

I'd agree. But, you need to burn the BG in the bottom right so that it's black.

#1 or #5 for me, but all appear soft.

I would also clone out the dust.

I think you've achieved the look. Good job.
