  This is really awsome, Lawrence! Color and comp are excellent, but that pool of water below the tomato puts it in a class by itself. Hope I wasn't the only one who noticed that amzing detail :-)

  Laurence, I followed a thread with birthday wishes to your gallery. It is excellent, one of my favorites. Happy Birthday. I am curious how you lighted this photo. Light tent? You did a great job on it.

  I'm sorry if I think that the tomato looks one-dimensional and the drop of water under is a bit too dark. I feel the tomato could have used a spritz of water to make it look fresh and appetizing. Maybe a card on the side to bounce some light onto the sides of the tomato to make it POP from the background. The surface could have benefitted from some light to give it some dimension. Keep working on it! Try to study some old photo annuals from the 80's to early 90's. Good luck!
