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.

2 wins it for me.

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

2 except I wish the backdrop was actually black

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

I changed the angle a little and different DOF

#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.

thanks again, I've fixed the bottom part here

#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.
