 Original idea didn't work out. The Kiwi was a backup plan since we see a lot of Kiwis here. I sliced the Kiwi about 1/4 inch think. Canon 530 speedlight lit from behind, Canon 420 speedlight lit form the side.

I like the flame effect in the lighter part of the fruit.

I like the job you did with the lighting on this one. I'm sure that took some trial and error to get it just right.
