i took an inordinate amount of shots of this chilli, trying to warm myself up I think, needed the shot of red.

[Kate Goring]

I feel the heat, love that red.

[belinda]

Beautiful shot, lovely textures and reflection and love the red.

[Pamela]

Can just see you doing it. Love the depth from the bottom to top chili and of course absolutely love not only the colors - rich red and black red but the texture of moist all around. Great composition.

[ZambianLass]

Fabulous

[Corrie]

Lovely shot Kali!

[Tineke]

It loks so tasty, well done

[Daryl O'Hare]

What is the background (backdrop?) Is it a reflection of textured material or is it the textured material but mirrored? Love it either way. Striking red from the pepper and I LOVE The stem (focus is spot on)! :)

[Janet Shaffer]

Very nice shot and great red.

I really like what the background does for this! This photo might be of interest to the Chili's Restaurant chain as a decorative picture to place in all their restaurants. Nicely done Kali!

These simple peppers look really striking against the dark background. Looks especially good viewed large.

[Tina Cook]

Love the reflection!

[Rohini Gupta]

Just beautiful, the color stands out against that lovely background. Love chillies.

@plumtree500 really? lol @houdiniem @adayinmallacoota @janets @dolphin @chezza @tinac1 @writingdays @janets @darylo @tstb @genesis_one @zambianlass thankyou for your comments, I liked the reflection too, a bit like a narcissist looking at himself in the mirror, the texture in the background is a wet metal tray, I brought out the contrast a lot to maximise it, and enriched the colour with colourefex filters

[Aurelie Jacquet]

Really well done! Textures are amazing!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Good think you are dousing that HEAT with some water! That pepper looks hot, but chilies are not that hot, are they? Great pic

[GiGi]

Very rustic recipe book shot

[Huda Morcos]

Many fantastic elements, composition, colors, reflection, bckgd , fav!

[Catherine Pace]

wonderful shot - great viewed on black background and love the reflected curl of the green stalk

[Steve and Pam Winfield]

Fantastic shot. The composition, lighting and colour work great together:)
