Basketful of Sweet Peppers

This is a marvelous farm stand that is known for its well displayed flowers and tasty fruits and veggies...some of which you can pick yourself. This basketful of sweet peppers called to me, and, yes, there was another basket of peppers close by that got neglected by my shutter. This place doesn't advertise..they don't have to. Word of mouth is sufficient, and you have to know where you are going as it is a hidden treasure... oh, and when I stepped out of the car, I heard the sounds of cowbells...looked...yes, on cows...didn't think they were made anymore..simple pleasures of life :)PJ

The light really helps with the overall composition, although a slightly more defined focal point would have been effective. Hope you'll go back and take some more, especially with the natural light.

I like how the light rises and falls around the curves of each pepper...it defines each shadow, giving them a more lively, vibrant and delicious look. YUM. haha. Good idea ;)

Looks tasty...too bad the flavor doesnt agree (not a vegetable type of person) (though stuffed bell peppers are pretty good...I havent had one in a while, so i forgot what goes inside.) Clean/sharp shot.

The colours are very rich and inviting. I can almost reach out and touch these peppers. But that would be silly, because we all know that they are only a photo. Well done great shot.

Word of mouth, hey, that's cute! Yes, I'll bet these peppers are absolutely delicious! There's nothing as great tasting as local produce. I love the small farmers! Great, clear, crispy photo.

Peppers!! I am guilty I eat these without ever cooking first right out of the garden...Love how you bring out the best in everything and perfection in centering I feel you had the right amount of lighting as well.

I must admit, I'm not somebody who would usually put a picture of food on my desktop (I'm more a scenery gal), but this image is so nice and colourful that I thought I would try it out. I've had it on here for over 3 weeks now and I still like looking at it.
Thanks for posting this!

Hi Pat, I have enjoyed viewing your gallery this am, and discovered many lovely photos, of which one of my favorites is this beautiful display of sweet peppers! They are stunning in color, so clean, fresh and healthy appearing! The image is so clear, the photo so well taken in all respects, and besides, I love the use of baskets, they add their own dimension of interest, which is almost always good old country living! Smiling!!! Advertizing through word of mouth was all that was needed in this case! Very nice photo, again, enjoy your week-end Pat and thank you again for your interest in my image! Sincerely, Marilyn

What a beautiful arrangement of color. Did you do this or simply find this sitting somewhere? This is very striking. Great capture.
