 If the sun was a kiwi ...

Used a glass bakeware tray half filled with water. Cut a thin slice of Kiwi - had lots of trouble getting the bottom half ct cleanly. Stuck the kiwi to the inside of the glass by wetting it just above the water line. Lighted at the back with a flashlight that can change the beam width.

Photoshop processing included hue, colors (had to adjust for the flaslight's yellow color and changed levels to ensure that nothing was way over exposed. I couldn't seem to control the flashlight to avoid highlighting the hairs on the kiwi skin - tried shaving them off but I should have probably done that before I cut it off.

Needs more patience :D

Nice backlighting. Wonder if it would have lit up more if the slice was thinner?

Nice concept and execution. This reminds me of a movie poster, but the name of the movie is eluding me right now.
