"Healthy Choice"

This is my Pops idea of fast food...straight from the kitchen all natural, the old fashion way, with a twist and modern flair...:D
The base image was altered by applying a plastic wrap and using a paint brush to trace the outlines of the individual peppers with neon ink. In addition, a glaze filter was passed at 25 percent intensity and a final crystallizing layer was added for the insides of the individual subject; simulating an energized fractal appearance...:)

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:

Gus, I am enjoying the combination of colors along w/ the stacking effect -very cool!! BTW It was great meeting you at Long Key w/ the rest of the Miami gang!!

Hi Lady Denise,
It was my pleasure meeting you at Long Key yesterday afternoon...we had a blast...remember to stop by Shark Valley...:)
By the way; the original of this image is a more traditional approach, with it's conservative colors in it's natural state...:D:cool:

Really cool Gus. I am glad you explained what you have done to create the image! Couldn't figure out what it was at first!

Gus, Got up early went back to find the owls, also went to Shark Valley-got some good shots-but still haven't sorted yesterdays!!

Hi Jackie,
This is the original in it's natural state...a big departure from the neon version...:D Which would you vote for? TRADITIONAL or CONTEMPORARY...:):cool:

I guess it depends on what one's intent is. They are equally weighted to me (both very cool) and it would just depend on what context you are presenting them in.

I like the contemporary!!!!

Hi Gus. I thought the contemporary image was very cool (still do), but then the original is very striking in its own right with the bright colors set against the black background. You have two winners here.

.... I'm glad Edward Wesson is not around :) Very creative Gus !!!

Terrific, is this # 30 :)
