1st: Neuron Plant by Techo

The tops of the tomatos reminded me of neurons. I had a shot like this in mind for a while, the tomato plant here may not be perfect for the concept but I'm pretty much satisfied with the lighting here.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6

Gawd I was looking in the stalk for the heart which is strange because when I first saw this picy I looked at the highlight for a while trying to decide if I liked the texture or grain init.
Upon second viewing I think the stalk stops this from being just a pretty picy as I stated below................................ Only just:-)

Abstract and Armin, Thanks for comments. The heart was unintentional but it's a nice touch if you do notice it, good eye! Two lights used, one diffused and placed fairly close to the left and the one undiffused near the top right. I like the light fall off which adds depth, makes it look more 3d than if the background was all one color. The background which is just a piece of green paper the tomato was put on, it wasn't bended up, just flat.

BTW: I'm sure my mind has already stolen this concept, sorry for the future :)
