great idea ! excellent composition ! very well done ! How are they standing ?

I think they are standing on those sticky museum gums...

I feel there isn't so much a clash of times here, but nice shot.

I still use the "old" ones. The "new" ones have a coating of mercury on the inside, but they don't really advertise that when they're touting how "green" they are.

clever

Great photo.....good luck

nice

good

nice fence......gl

The background is not black.

I agree...

OK. I had considered the green stems to be part of the subject, but looking at it with a fresh eye I can see your point. I have replaced it with an entry with a completely black background. Thanks for your comments.

It is now, officially BLACK!lol

good shot and nice details..

nice simple subject and good comp...nice entry

Thank you, this is wonderfull and 150% on theme. it is obvious that there must have been glass here, but you can't see it at all, and the peppers and waterspray are crystal clear. This one will be hard to beat.

Marvelous entry!

awesome........

wonderful shot

outstang shot!!!!

Awesome!!! i thought I might have a chance at this contest until I saw this one...great job!!

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

Great shot... but I'm pretty sure I've seen this before and not in this contest.

Seen it before - but great shot anyway

this is perfect for the theme!! And a great shot and imagination too. I've seen this before somewhere.

No arguments here. Definitely on theme, although I know who you are from a previous contest: "collisions"

Absolutely Amazing Art......Beautiful work....Perfect on theme.....GL..

no, you saw one very similar, I remember it too........the pepper was a different color.

You are right ade. But I checked and it was not the collisions contest.

Being recognised by style is incredibly flatering. Thank you all for the great comments.

fantastic entry

Yup, I knew it. Congrats!
