Hello irish_eye... strange subject and stranger still the echo that hints of nether regions outside the frame. I like the experimenting with colour and agree that subtle can have the same affect as extreme with regards to intensity. Nice use of a hazed green addition to the upper frame. All up this shot has quite a silent complexity to it. Like sugar in a hurricane. Duality and experimentation. Always a pleasure.
Irish, I really like your minimal composition and crop here...the white background is very effective in contrast. Nice how a hint of the form can also be seen in the framing. The pepper itself is so smooth and curvaceous...a sensual, bodily form. I like the lighting and glossy reflection here too. Great idea for a subject...well presented and taken, Irish. MFC
