Tabasco peppers

This is the second time I've used the curlicue effect on a photo. The first was the pesto shot. I had to decide between three pix this time, all curlicues and all slightly different. The one you see here was shot slightly out of focus which, when the curlicue effect was applied, seemed to have more depth to it. The other two are sharper but with less depth. You can see them on my blog at http://consilience.typepad.com/teachers_lounge/2009/08/blipfoto-9-is-up.html
