Great piece of work. Not to offend anyone else, but I think this is the best one of the bunch here. – Tom

I've been looking and looking at this image ever since you first posted it. I've been awestruck by what you did.... with a pepper. I've got a sack full of these things sitting in the refrigerator and haven't been able to think of how I wanted to photograph them that wouldn't be just like everyone else has done it. Then I see this and am blown away. It's so sensual.

First of all, I want to know how you lit this thing. Second, I know you didn't ask for critique and I'm not really giving you one. I just can't help but wonder if you tried this without the two items sitting "outside"? I'm asking, because I think the piece would be just as powerful without them. Maybe moreso, but I'd have to see to know for sure. Just super, Danny! --Nancy

Beautiful, surreal image Danny. I never would have recognized it as a pepper either :). This may sound like a stupid question, but how does one get the water /liquid effect in Photoshop? I've seen it before, and have wanted to try it a couple of times...but don't know how to do it. --Melanie

Very surreal image Danny, all the elements work well together as does the lighting. Good comp, I'd have never know that was a pepper if you hadn't said so. -- Chris

Way cool shot, Danny. Very imaginative, indeed. The lighting is awesome and the cup and the drips insde are sheer genius.

Danny: A beautifully surreal image. It continues the trend I've noticed which is having water/ripples as part of the image. The yellow/gold overtones I see as an excellent color choice. The texture/cracks in the pepper contribute enormously to the impact of the image. Nice work! Fremiet
