[Leica] Peppers

[Lluis Ripoll]

Thanks Don, this image was just a quick test to see the result, I agree that the background is not the best, I have to look for something better. The reflections are natural, I don't think anything else is needed, the light is natural, the important thing is the exposure and the development. 

In the 80's I worked quite a lot on this kind of photos, I studied Ansel Adams' books quite a lot, then I moved on to a time of macro slides of insects, butterflies etc.... both practices gave me a base for street photography.
