A Pepper in the Snow

had to go and click to see who's taken this picture. (: great simplicity.

Nice illustration of the extreme - hot vs. cold. Did the pepper bleed into the ice, or did you add color later?

I think the scanner (it was a crappy scan to start with) did some of the bleeding, but in photoshop I just barely increased the saturation, because I got some gray snow (stupid me w/out the gray card) and so I think it was a combo of both photoshop and scanner that went into the bleddin. Thanks for your posts.

Just found this laying underneath our pepper plants, and I decided to

see how it looked in the snow. The extra bleeding is from our

scanner, the actual photo is much sharper. Thanks for looin'.

Well I think you've done a good job of focusing on the subject itself. I shot a similar theme last Christmas when we had a sleet storm: Here are a few of the photographs, I like the simplicity of your subject, it's not too busy but keeps the detail. I just wish for a re-scan sometime!

A good idea, but I think you'd try to do a better scan. I think it doesn't make any justice to the original idea.
