Bell pepper (from Wikipedia)
The term "bell pepper" is one of the many names for some fruits of the Capsicum annuum species of plants. The misleading name "pepper" (pimiento in Spanish) was given by Christopher Columbus upon bringing the plant back to Europe. At that time peppercorns were a highly prized condiment.
Today, the term "bell pepper" or "green pepper" is often used for any of the large bell shaped capsicum fruits, regardless of their color. In British English, the fruit is simply referred to as a "pepper", whereas in many Commonwealth of Nations countries, such as India, Malaysia and Australia, they are called "capsicum". Across Europe, the term "paprika", which has its roots in the word for pepper, is used—sometimes referred to by their color (e.g. "groene paprika", "gele paprika", in Dutch, which are green and yellow, respectively). Paprika also refers to the powdered spice made from the same fruit. In the United States and Canada, the fruit is often referred to simply as a "pepper" or referred to by color (e.g. "red pepper", "green pepper"), although the more specific term "bell pepper" is understood in most regions.
In parts of the U.S. around southern Ohio and northern Kentucky the term "mangoes" (or "mangos") has sometimes been used to refer to bell peppers. However, as the actual mango fruit has become more common in the region, this usage has faded.
In Russia it is commonly called ?????????? ????? (bolgarskiy perets), meaning Bulgarian pepper. In France, it is called poivron, with the same root as poivre (meaning black pepper). In Denmark the bell pepper is referred to as "peberfrugt", meaning pepper-fruit.

HI!!!!
extremely good comp. i love the blue background! and the last picture is amazing!!!! thanks for sharing:D that made me smile:)

cheers from Hungary!

samm

kan niet anders zeggen dan dat ik het mooi vind
denk dat je misschien overal een zelfde kleur blauw als achtergrond had moeten gebruiken
Maar de compositie en macro shots vind ik erg geslaagd

Hello there

Exellent trio of pepper shots here. 3 good clear images and nice choice of BG colour, well framed and very interesting notes.

TFS regards Helen

Mooie paprika-studie.
Zoals reeds aangehaald, zou het ideaal geweest zijn mochten de drie foto's dezelfde contrastwaarde hebben. Waarschijnlijk valt er aan uw origineel nog iets te verhelpen.

Hola amigo,
bello collage,
colorida y sensacional composición...
saludos Loon.

Hoi Loon,

Mooie compo die je hier gemaakt hebt! Momenteel werk ik in Indonesie en het verbaast me dat paprika hier aardig aan de prijs is! Pepers eten ze genoeg, maar paprika is toch iets wat hier niet overal te krijgen is.
Het rood in de linker shot had wat vetter aangezet mogen zijn en ik ben het wel ens met Marco dat het blauw overal gelijk had mogen zijn. Denk dat je wel dezelfde achtergrond hebt gebruikt, maar het blauw ziet er anders uit door verschillende lichtinval / belichting.
Maar een mooie compo!!

Groet, Dennis
