Have to look for blue chilis next time:)
Seriously, I'm glad Joshua got the blue for his image, since I really don't like my shot very much, the smoke came out nice but the light (or absence of light) on the chili just sucks. Thanks for your votes and comments anyway!
Profoto D1 500 with 2x3 Softbox at 1/16 top front left, 430EXII fired with photo cell (which worked about every 10th shot) behind black cardboard back right.
Make-up mirror reflecting the softbox' light to the front of the chili.

Sorry, with the TPL and "life" happening at the same time I had no time to vote or even "look" at these challenges. What a brilliant image. So glad you did well. Congrats
Love the idea! Not just another picture of the smoke by itself but something that actually makes sense and is clever. Plus it's technically perfect so I'm wondering if it's H2 :)
I will be very surprised if this is not an Oliver image!! Perfectly composed and lit. Not a thing I can find wrong with this. I suspect this is the Blue Winner.
Oh good. Someone remembered to do the chili pepper. Was worried it'd be forgotten. Nice clean shot, though I'm not sure the "smoke" is playing a major role here.
