 In the supermarket I saw a pack of 3 peppers. Ok, that will do. After that I walked to the sewing-department in the supermarket, and thought about the fact that it would be really cool to sew a zipper into one pepper. Why? No clue ;)

I screwed up 2 peppers, and this one too, actually, but there was a way to not see that part (because of the shallow DoF ofcourse.

I love my final result. Got it also as a print available :)

Light: 1 softbox from the right (really? yeah. reaally)

Little levels / curves / contrast / saturation in PP, but not much :)

Very good! Extremely clever, and a good execution! I keep seeing all these funny pictures, but few of them are very good photographically speaking. They're just snapshots, not photographs. But yours is a photograph. :)
