20080827 - Late Angry Chilli!

For the Achromatic August theme.

Grrr, working late, had 3/4 of my day WASTED, stayed late to catch up on some stuff that was actually worth doing and for people who appreciate it. Sometimes.....!

So, got home late and seething and bunged a chilli on.

Processing: Went wild in the channel mixer, completely ott settings (163% red, -19% green, 200% blue; -130% constant), then rendered some fibres on top in vivid-light mode. Grrrr. Etc.

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Intriguing processing. Not sure a chilli is calming food, but it is good food :)

Try the Sarvang Asana - it is good to relieve anger! Not that bluddy dead cow you are cooking.

Anger is good...let it all out! I'll bet it tasted good too. Superb shot and I love the treatment. Adds to the mood.

Green and red chillis yes! But I don't know what 200% blue does to their taste! :>)

Oh! Hope you don't get heartburn from your chilli !! It's a very strange effect - good but strange!!!
