Edible props, I could get used to that.
Shot with an yellow (1.5) filter, and -1.3 exposure comp.
Levels, USM, Colour balance, crop.
I will probably get some comments on the border.
On reviewing it, it looks almost Sci-fi, the sun in the BG and a satellite in the FG :)
I still haven't eaten the Kiwano so I have no idea what it tastes like, but from netsurfing it looks better than it tastes :/

As for the border: I knew I'd go down badly, but I simply couldn't come up with anything better and I didn't want to have a solid black one. Since then I've come up with a better idea.
I like this one the best:
but I did also try a different yellow:
With regards to dim or extra front light, sorry no, then the orangy colour of the Kiwano would be plain to see.
BTW I forgot the Kiwano behind my monitor for 2-3 days, and when I remembered it had gone bad, so I have no idea how it tastes.
10 for creativeity and taking a chanve, the border is too much brighter than the subjects, so it draws my eye away from the pic. might be nice to have a bit more light on the front thingy - not much, but some. nice composition.
I like everything but the border - all those nice curves in yellow seem to clash with the squareness of the yellow frame - also is it greener than the yellows in the image? try one of the oranges and see it it looks better.
i feel like a dim front light would have helped this... i definitely see why you wanted the sides closest to the viewer darkened, but i think it's just a bit too dark. nice shot, though... good even lighting.
