 To get the shot I cut the back off an apple and hollowed it out. Placed a speedlight behind it on 1/8 power, fired by a cybersync transmitter. Shot in RAW and converted, a quick crop and cloned out a spot of sensor dust and this is the result.

Nice example, but the photo just doesn't say wow to me. The photo feels a little soft.

Unusually lit. Makes it very effective. You could spends days on perfecting a shot like this.
