 I really just wanted to enter into another challenge, but finals are coming up so no time to try anything too fun, so...
The butt of a mini-pepper I was eating. Delicious.
Lit by a desk lamp.
Taken with a +4 and either a +1 or +2 extension tube.

Thanks for looking!

butt? I thought that was the top of the pepper? Lighting is very harsh and the DOF is not great enough. Nice eye to see the colours though.

Great title! I wish a little more was in focus in this picture but it's still a great shot!

good concept, however the composition is a bit wacky and nothing seems to be in focus.

Would have liked to see a little more DOF as the top of the stem looks out of focus.
