I like palette here. * I think that the texture of the peppers will be enhanced by judicious sharpening

thanks Jano for your comments.
the purple tint is real, and the wb is very close.
I've done this subjects for the color range, that fills up nicely from yellow to brown.
basically there is no other color (not even white ) in the whole subject. In order to keep the color range I tried to find a suitable background, ending up with a gray cardboard ( with a specific texture ) and an old net-like thing ( protecting screen from my old crt 14 inch monitor ) on the top of it. betwen the two surfaces there is a 6 mm gap, which caused this offset purple cast for all shadows.the imperfections of the background is something that this picture will have to live it, there's no way i could correct this one...
thanks again

The texture is great here and overall I like the tonal qualities in the image. But, I'm not sure about the background, but if the imperfections in the background were cleaned up I think that would make all the difference. One more thing, and maybe my eyes are just crazy...but the shadows have a purplish tint to them on my screen. Does anyone else see this? If so, I think I would mess with the hues a little bit and get rid of that tad bit of hue. I kind of wondering about the wb here... is it off or is it close? Curiously wondering. jano

Really nice Tom! I like the colors and texture of the peppers and the color and texture of the b/g complement the peppers nicely. CJ
