 Almond inside of a walnut shell.

Testing a new lighting setup with a R1C1 to familiarize myself with flash technique and using the Nikon R1C1 flash system. One SB-R200 with diffuser mounted to the lens on the right side of the camera. A second SB-R200 with diffuser placed behind and to the right of the object for a small amount of back lighting

Very interesting, if poorly lit, subject.

I like both walnuts and almonds. Needs a little more color tweaks, though. Just a bit to give it some more visual oomph.

Nice angle, and a good shadow. The object is in a hot spot which makes it work.

Exposure is off just a bit, the background is grey instead of White which I think it should be.

I really like the concept of what you are doing here. I think if you had used a brighter and mush softer/diffused light this would be good. Maybe zoom in just a bit more.

Nice texture. A bit soft on focus and subject needs a bit more zip.
