Last minute shot, had the idea after going apple picking with the family last weekend in upstate NY. I saw plenty of 'insides' of apples. Simple setup, slave flash directly above and just above the camera. The cut apple was glued to a tennis ball covered in the same black background.

I like the concept but, the shot is just a tad too darkened. Perhaps, your monitor needs a bit of adjusting? I'm sure that it looked lighter in your screen than it does on other screens. Have you checked it on other screens?
