Balancing Act


more peppers...

although these seem to be leaning right, they are most definitely liberal peppers! this turned into a bit of a balancing act of sorts. although i feel that the peppers lean a bit towards the abyss outside the picture frame, they seem to have achieved a precarious balance. when i was posing my spicy subjects, despite my better compositional judgment, all the positions that looked balanced seemed rather dull, so i went with this one...at the time that i finished it, i didn't think that i liked it, but viewing it the next morning proved it a hasty call.

Well, I love whatever it is the little peppers are doing...the reflection there is marvelous. I don't mind the comp, sorta like a little drunk is leaning on a big drunk lol but a teeny bit more room to the sides would have let it breathe more (I know...you didn't ask so feel free to ignore lol!)

Love the colors !
