Thanks Dan and Thomas. I was trying painting with light technique and it seemed to work. I am really happy with the way it turned out, given that I was using a 40W table lamp for this shot.

Also expressing my thanks for all the comments.

Lighting and technique doesn't get any better than this. I swear I can touch and feel these. Originally I had this at 7, and I don't go around "bumting" everything, but I am glad I came back now. 10.

Superb placement/composition. Nice soft lighting really worked well for you - holding the colors very nicely. Shoud finish way on up there.

I love these kind of sensuous closeups of fruits and vegetables.... and this is very well done

Excellent shot. I had no idea that these type of tomatoes came in a yellow variety. The water drops add a very nice touch.

great shot, but the yellow border detracts.

They look yummy, and I don't even know what they are! I would guess yellow tomatoes, but I'm not sure. The water droplets add interest, and the colors and lighting are spot on.

A little on the dark side.

A delightful still life, gently lit, nicely done.

I have mixed feelings about the drops of water. I am not sure if I can explain it - but it seems to me that the waterdrops don't go with the frame. Either the drops or the frame, but not both.
