 I started with a complete different idea but didn't come out as i was planning. So when this orange got my attention i set up a black background and took some photos. One SB-800 was used, manual mode (1/4 power), with a DIY snoot.

Not much post process on this one. Pretty much as it came out from the camera.
- convert from raw and crop using RawShooter
- USM, save for web using Photoshop
