Interesting post processing. It definitely has a nice abstract look to it. It reminds me of a peacock.

I like this one too. If it wasn't a fruit I would say it looked like a butterfly wing. Nicely done.

Thanks. That's kind of what I was going for.

We see a lot of the translucent, back-lit fruit so I thought I would do something slightly different. By using a wedge (sitting on a flash diffuser) the light fell off gradually as the orange thickened. That led to the color gradation. I then enhanced the blacks, contrast and clarity in post.

Lovely abstract you achieved. This is what's so great about the WA, it inspires you to shoot something you might not ordinarily shoot, and challenges you to do it in a creative way!
