 Went for the peeper shot. I liked the close up image better than the entire pepper. I am not sure what is expected in the challenge. To me this evokes sensuous textures of the female form captured in a green bell pepper. To me, that is the essence of abstract food.

Lit from the side with a Photoflex softbox attached to a Novatron 400 ws head.

Works good as an abstract but it is a little soft in the focus. A bit sharper would have helped I think.

The soft focus helps give the image a sensuous appearance

Stating the obvious locker room interpretation really detracts from what is otherwise a fine abstract. Nice shot (6).
