I forgot the garlic from the original but oh well. I don't expect much from it anyway. I hope I didn't overprocess it too much. Afterwards I made up the rest of the salsa and had a great chop and dip snack, but with all the habaneros it was REALLY hot!

The more I look at this the more I don't like the finishing. I adjusted color balance towards red, yellow, green and caused too much orange as a result. Plus it brought out the green in the wall that originally appeared black. My less processed one may have been better. I peaked at 6.0 at 10 votes.
