Taken on a light table my mom has for doing her scrapbooking stuff.
Sliced the tomatoes as thin as I could, set them on the light table, put an extra flashlight underneath it because the one little lightbulb wasn't enough (imo) and shot away.
Not sure what I think of the b & w here. Couldn't get the WB where I wanted it though, so thought, "Shoot, I'll just do it in black and white."

Neat shot - I'd like to see the color version of this to see how vibrant it was. Why the b/w decision? Neat composition, I like the 3 elements that you decided to use... a bit darker than it maybe should be on the right hand side? - 6 - JeB

like the idea, but contrast not high enoughfor good b&w, and tomatoes are such interesting colours!

I like this idea, I thought of it myself (but didn' t implement), however, I think color would have given it more impact
