Tweaked the levels on green channel to lighten melon as I had to under expose it in order to keep the reds from blowing out.
A tad bit of smart sharpening and cropping and resized for the web
The set-up was actually fairly simple. One half of a watermelon was hollowed out and a small hole cut into it. The raspberry was inverted over the hole and a small flash light inside the melon was pointed upwards. I then removed some additional portion of the inside of the rind to fine tune the lighting of the melon in the vicinty of the berry.
If you have any additonal questions feel free to ask.

Thanks Jutilda and Fetor. I though it would do better as well but I can't complain as it did set a bunch of personal bests for me. I'm guessing some voters marked me down for not meeting their view of the challenge.
I'll post how I created the shot this evening for those of you who would like to know.
That is too cool! Was that shot with a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ20?
This is the last shot Im voting on today because it has made me hungry and I need to get lunch now.
