Thank you so much for this long and detailed comment :-), really appreciate it. I had not thought about another pepper in the BG, I tried a few different placements of the peppers, but liked this the best (of what I took). I HAD thought and even done a few versions where the peppers in the front especially are just a notch brighter, and I like them much better, but this was "minimal" editing .... I may be totally wrong, but I thought non of that was allowed in Minimal?
From the rules:
You may not...
make any other adjustments to your image than those listed above. This includes, but is not limited to, cropping, adjusting brightness, hue/saturation, levels, curves, etc. Except as provided above, your image as entered must be identical to the original image as it came |

| I like the gloom from which the peppers emerge. I disagree with Bear's critique: if you did what he says to do, I think it would lose that sense of emergence. |
