This one is proper exposed and I did not use any filters. I actually like how the Chilli looks in comparison to the other one. My wife likes more the other one. It does not look so busy like this one, she says. I could use an artificial bg, but I usually don't like that.
Well the chillies and the leaves are a bit close in colour but I'd rather eat these than those in the other picture. The red filter gives them an unattractive, almost transparent look.
@HiHoSilver Thanks. I like this more as well, for the same reason. @pentaxuser Yeah, don't they look odd? Like albino chilli. @whlogan Sorry to hear. I love chilli peppers. And my Blue-Fonted Amazon Parrot loves them even more. He eats the whole thing, especially the seeds.
