Muy caliente!! Photo

Photographer’s Note

This was one of the many, many displays of fresh fruits and vegetable at the market on Saturday. Rows of it as far as you could see. Wonderful colors, shapes, textures. Just about anything you could ask for. And when the market ended?? They had to pack it all up and take it somewhere else. Dang.

Dear Shelly,
Lovely colorful photo. I'm thinking about pizza with lots of fresh veggie you show us. Love its sharpness and the light. Was the market about to close at that time? It looks like the door was half closed. In my old place, anything left unsold would be bartered with other goods. Have a nice day. Regards,
Henny.

The colors and the sharpness are just amazing. The vegetables look quite delicious and you can almost taste them. Fantastic DOF as well. I quite like that there are some areas that in the sun, while others are in the shade. Adds a lot to the overall scene.

Hi Shelly,
very interesting image of the peppers, knoewd "Malagueta" or "Dedo-de-moça" (Gilr-finger) in Brazil, but non son muy calientes, hehe. Good colors capture and detailling in the fruits. Great job my friend.
Regards,
Lucas

Hello Shelly

At a glance I think these are imitation goods, but these are real ones. Close up with long focus lens effect is very well. You are very talented to cut usual scene and express them unusual.

Best regards

Hello Shelly
Couleurs éclatantes et saturation idéale des couleurs. La mise au point et la profondeur de champs est bien maîtrisée.
Cela donne envie de manger des légumes...

Hi Shelly,
what a wonderful still life portrait! I love it! The colors are so strong and the shot is perfectly sharp with a nicely blurred b/g. I like the way you've chosen your pov too. Great shot!
Thanks and take care,
Linda

Hi Shelly, What a great close up of these peppers & chillies, the light & focus are very good indeed & great colour, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Shelly,
Special vibrant colors seen in perfect light.
Love the clear focus on the produce that brings out lovely lines and smooth tasty looking textures to the ripe produce.
Love how your composition gives way to a lovely muted backdrop.

Bonjour, ma bonne amie Shelly,
Les secrets sont des piments sur le bout de la langue. Tôt ou tard ils mettent la bouche en feu.
Très jolie présentation de ces gros fruits verts, jaune ou rouge de ce piment, prenant la lumière avec bonheur.
Amitiés sincères.
Philippe

Hi, Shelly.
Simple + beautiful = simply beautiful! Such a lovely, cheerful display of colors bathing in amazing lighting...
LOVE IT! Have a great weekend, my dear friend, I'll be seeing you. HUGS from a grey & cold (what else's new) Amsterdam,

Hi Shelly.
What lovely colours and brightness in this delightful composition. I think you got the DOF just right for this 'still life' sort of picture. The highlights are well controlled yet the shot really brings our the richness of the colours. Sharp, but not too sharp. Nicely done.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Shelly! Nice composition. Nice natural lightness and brightness, ideal colours. Very good shadow. Original frame. Good luck!

mesutilgim (37555) 2009-02-07 8:24

Hi Shelly,
Great idea; it's again the big difference between to look and to see ! You've seen it and turned into art ! That's whal all good artists are doing.
Very nice graphical effect with vivid fresh colors.
TFS and have a nice weekend
Best regards

Hi Shelly,
when I was getting ready for my exams and had no time to look
at your pictures, I was guessing which of your pictures would be first I would see after my exams. A church? A station? A man?
No, it was a lot of vegetable.
Good sharpness, details, colours.

Hi Shelly,

In this still life image, you demonstrate vivid colors, shapes and textures. How sad it would be not to be able to see the vivid color differences in the the various peppers, as red/green color blindness afflicts some people (7% of males, and an insignificant percent of females). At Oxford there was a well known nuclear physicist who found had no idea that he was red/green color blind, until his family, during a strawberry picking episode, discovered that he was going for shapes, instead of colors.

Have a good Sunday,

Bulent

Hello Shelly,
has you say, lots of colours hapes and textures. I like that the plastic baskets echo the colours of the vegetables and also that the frame is crammed with colour.

Wandering_Dan (3325) 2009-02-08 11:29

Hi, Shelly -

Red peppers in a red basket! Green peppers in a yellow-green basket, too. Ah, but then it gets off the pattern; oh, well.

Great spotting, and a good composition. I do take issue with your title, though; these are not hot peppers. Hot photo, though.

Best,
Dan
