Thanks, Tom. two strobes were used here, one at the back, the other at left.

Lovely lemon Aam. Looks very professional with lighting and exposure that works quite well far beyond my patience or ability. Did you use lighting equipment? -tv

- Thanks, Lydia.
- Good detective work, Tony. Two strobes were used here, one at the back and one, as you guessed, at left, both were very close. The light was so strong that I had to use a CPL, in addition to f18. It took me close to 3 hours to shoot this and another subject. Nothing seems to cooperate so you have to improvise and try different things. For example, this slice was floating so had to find a way make it vertical.

Thanks Lady and Gent for the comments.

Can you speak to the lighting of this pic? Some sort of strong back light off to the left required to pull the f/18 1/200s exposure off? I'm thinking back left because of the difference in color of the lemon peel, the right peal being much darker than the left. I do love the bubbles, a product of a quick dunk into the water/shot? I do love the effort you always put into your shots! I do wish I had your type of skill!

Glad you like it, mate.

The lightness of the colour does give it a refreshing look & the framing looks really good. Nicely done mate.

Thanks, Brent. I like the 7up line too :)

Very nicely done Aam. Great detail subtle color and I like that you included the water line at the top. And you are right to recommend that lens to Mary Anne- I love mine.

You will love the 100 macro, Mary Anne.

Another nice macro, Aam. It's really making me think that I want one of those lenses.
