 Very thin transparent string is what is holding the peppers up. The string was tied to a needle which was then pushed into the top of the pepper. I figured that would keep me from having to worry about showing my "trick" and not being able to clone out the excess tie offs. Adjusting the levels to bring out the yellow more made the string disappear.

Most of the major pp'ing was from levels adjustments. I did import it later into PSP for a Clarify adjustment and the border.

Great chillies. I'm not sure about the yellow background though, however photographically the background is very well done. Uniform and without any markings or shadows.

I think this would have done better if the background wasn't yellow. The sharpness on the peppers is lovely.

Very nice shot. 8.

Only the border is a bit harsh.

This really pops. How did you get the peppers to stand up?
