EXCELLENT CAPTURE & B/W COLORS !!!!!

Wonderful composition, color and light!

chipolte Typically, a grower will pass through a jalapeño field multiple times, picking the best green jalapeños for market. At the end of the growing season, jalapeños naturally begin to turn red. There is an extensive fresh market for red jalapeños in both Mexico and the United States. Many U.S. growers disk the red jalapeños into the ground. In Mexico, the red jalapeños are saved and sold in markets for premium prices. They are kept on the vine as long as possible. When the jalapeños are deep red and have lost much of their moisture, they are selected to be made into chipotles. The red jalapeños are moved to a closed smoking chamber where they are spread out on metal grills. Wood is placed into a firebox and the smoke enters the sealed chamber. Every few hours, a person enters the smoking chamber and stirs the jalapeños to allow for the penetration of the smoke. The chiles are smoked for several days until most of the moisture is removed. At the end of the process, the chipotles are dried up in a manner akin to prunes or raisins. The underlying heat of the jalapeños is combined with the taste of smoke. Typically, it takes ten pounds of jalapeños to make one pound of chipotle. maybe more than you wanted to know!!excellent capture and sepia tone?

Richard, thanks for that info. I have often wondered how this was done. I have thought about trying it myself. Still might... This is a marvelous shot though with great clarity and good interest. Very nice.

Richard, thanks for that info. I love hot sauce

Wonderful image! I love the pronunciation guide. Nice!

What you have achieved is almost an abstract by moving in so very close and elliminating most information and focusing on essentials. Thank you for sharing. egmont

I assume the chip partner is out. Or is it Che?

So beautiful and very nice color and composition ! Good day :)

Thanks for the "lesson" :o) good one !

Fantastic composition and tone to this image. I had to laugh at your description, which I am sure will make our friend laugh as well! Outstanding shot Philippe.

Love the shot!!

Je trouve ce cliché superbe! Par contre: POHT... what is it please? Et "Zorkitude"... was is das? Sinon, j'aime!

Lovely composition and tone.

Well done!!

Interesting composition...

Il me semble arriver en retard pour une image qui ne devrait pourtant pas me laisser indifférent ! En effet , au kré de mes pérékrinations Renderosiennes, j'ai malencontreusement oublié de m'arrêter sur cette compo dont les teintes et les jeux d'ombres et lumières sont superbes ! Si Zorg aime je suis certain que Zork aimera tout autant :-) ...Bravo Philippe !

Nice capture...

amazing. pure wonder!
