Broke an orange pepper in half, propped it up against a black background and stuck a desk lamp right behind it. Pretty simple. First I shot a bunch of the inside, macros of the seeds and such, but thought it just seemed so cliche`. Not that I don't like those kinds of shots, I thought that you, the voters, would be bored by them. So I present the outside of the pepper. I hope you like it.

Shot with 50mm 1.8, 13mm extension tube and 1.4x teleconverter. I wish it were advanced editing. I'd love to get a few spots off of the pepper.

I think that the rules allow you to remove that dust spec.

Yummy. Who needs pumpkins when you have peppers.

Great idea. Would be nice to see more detail in the pepper.

Nice image - Like the simplicity - Just a tad unsharp looking which a still life should not be.
