 Wanted to get some humour in there and it worked out not too bad (in my opinion)

First off, I have to say that this is a very creative photo. I like the effort put forth into doing it.

I agree that the hand drawn road would have looked better on black with yellow lines. And that the tight focus on the accident "victims" is very good.

However, I believe this would have scored better if more of it were in focus, especially the pepper. The red pepper should stand out more (I figure that's why you put it in there). Also, the shadows tend to take just a little away from this shot. I would have bounced the light more off of both sides of the light box to try to soften the shadows.

The colors seem to be just right, so you did a good job of making them true.

I'm also thinking about how well this would have stood out without the title. People might have just thought this was some peas, broken up, add a pepper, and toss them onto a sheet of paper with dashed lines.

Overall, very creative and humorous.

Keep shooting and making folks think and laugh.

I like the idea, but I wish everything was sharp.

Oh, the carnage. I think the lines of peas on the dashed paper immediately send the message. I like the tight focus on the accident victims.

You should have thrown a blanket over the deceased peas. ;) Very creative.

Cute idea. Having white and yellow lines on black paper would have been better. Some flames would have been cool too.

This photo required a second look. Creative thinking there. or perhaps a tad morbid? :-) but a cool photo regardless.

Nice effort, but I think it needs the title too much to get what's going on.

Strange picture. Carcrash, am I right?

nice idea, but the hand-drawn street can't convince. DOF is too shallow, too. A higher point of view might have helped.

very clever title...LOL

You had a funny idea here. I think the DOF could have been a little better though. Good thinking!
