Every time I go to the supermarket, I make this decision: paper or plastic?
Shot in my basement on a newly purchased white vinyl window shade (thus the ripples near the bottom that I couldn't edit out per the contest rules.) I used a 500 watt worklight to light the background and then took a long exposure so it would wash out and the groceries would be lit just right from reflected light. The side of the paper bag got a little more washed out than I would have liked, but my produce was starting to wilt under the hot lights!

Great comments. Thank you all. I knew there were lighting problems, but I just got home from school, so I haven't bought an adequate amount of lighting yet. Glad most of you still liked it.
Looks like good healthy choices too! Excellent idea. You've tried a high-key approach which worked fairly well - but you need to force some light into the foreground to make it truly effective as high key.
