0% Hot, 100% Cool

With the strong illumination from an SB-800 flash unit at the upper right,
the upper part of the pepper looks semi-transparent.
A reflector was fixed on the left to soften the harsh shadows.

It's a very nice shot ! Even not to touch it, I can feel the texture of the pepper - so firm, strong and juicy.
