I cannot believe this one didn't get a higher score, as the sepia tones really highlight the well focused chillies.....
I loved it, and thats why I made it a favorite.....

Nice use of light and shadow, and the focus on the chilis is perfect!

Excellent image here, and love the mixture of sepia, with the red of the chilies..... great processing.....I looked at this again, as it is often on my mind, so adding it to my favorites..... I really like this effect of the sepiatones, against the red chillies.....
