Just pepper, one of my favorite snacks!

When Christopher Columbus discovered sweet peppers on his travels in the New World, he thought he could make a fortune importing the delicious vegetable. However, the sweet peppers grew fine in their new, Mediterranean home. They remain a popular ingredient in Italian and Spanish dishes today.
When young, sweet peppers,or bell peppers as some call them, are green. There are also yellow, orange, purple and brown varieties. Red sweet peppers are actually green peppers left to ripen on the vine for a longer period of time. The sweetest peppers are red, yellow and orange, while green and purple peppers tend to have a more tart flavor.

Red peppers are an excellent source of vitamin C, contain high antioxidant levels and are linked to a reduced risk of heart disease.Beta-cryptoxanthin, vitamin E and other carotenoids are best absorbed by the body when they are eaten with oil, so they are best eaten as part of a meal.

Hi Tanja, great pepper with splendid red color, very well done, ciao Silvio

Strong composition, a very effective simple shot.

Only one thing though: some ambient light has come in from the bottom left of the pic. This would have been prevented if you placed a dark card to create a shadow in this quadrant and would have resulted in the same drop off as in the top right quadrant.

Hope you don't mind me saying.
