You have some really good stuff there and I am surprised we have not seen more of you posting in this thread. Don

Probably becuase I favour natural light or full studio set up - the flash gun in this instance was a last resort.
I have been enthralled by your expertise in this subject.
Sadly, running a shop and a photography business doesn't give me as much time to play at present - I have less opportunites to visit this forum these days.

I preferred the apricot version - hence the choice for my website! - There was also a shot of just the plastic containers which I liked, I'll probably keep that for one of my leaflets.
Interesting point on the backdrop - I had thought about a different colour background, but decided it would detract from the subject. I discarded the shots with the lighter background feeling that this version drew the viewer towards the fruit at the front. I also think that many of my previous images had plain backdrops and thought just for a change...
