Hey guys, since the last lot got a good response I thought I'd give it another go! This time I got hold of some vine tomatoes and used a builders floodlight indoors with an Alfoil reflector and mirror for bounce!

Lemme know what you think..I was thinking this would look good as a double page spread with an article or tag line across the top?!

Liam - as a designer I could not agree with you more. This is 100% up on the previous image :)

I really can't fault this image. Which is something that can't be said for a huge amount of shots.

Great work.

Wow, thanks guys!

Chris, finally my degree in Visual Communication (Graphic Design) has paid off!!

I reckon SUBWAY would like this one..reckon they'd do a trade for a lifetime's supply of free SUBS?!!

Liam,

Definitely like this shot over the previous one, one tomato in the foreground and 5/6 in the background .

Should go to McDonalds and show them what a healthy tomoato looks like. They advertise one thing, and the final product looks completely different. BTW: I am not a macca fan. Long live the local Fish n Chip shop, where you pay the same price but get three times the product and fresh as.

Cheers,

Very ingenious setup Liam...
