Regardless of how well this does, I am happy with it. My original idea was to lay slices of fruit flat with seltzer water and backlight the tray. But that didn't work out so well. I couldn't get things to look the way I wanted. Fortunately I did some other experimenting and had images from this setup to play with. Purists may say that it's not strictly backlit, but lit from beneath. However, if I'm above the glass, then lit from beneath *is* backlit, right?
PS - Those are soda fizzes in the air above the glass, in case anyone wonders.

The blown base of the glass is just drawing all my attention, I didn´t even notice that lime until looking at the picture for 2-3 seconds. I think more even and thought out lighting would be key for you next time you shoot something like this.
