 A different method from an image done by my friend Wendy Stevenson...I hope she does not mind. Taped the snow peas to a piece of white paper and taped the paper over a clamp lamp with a 100w halogen bulb. Shot with tripod and remote. Several tries...this one look best.

Post: Healed some dust spots and schmutz off the peas. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Sharpen. Resize. Sharpen (Full Crop)

hmm, not so much peas in a pod anymore so much as baby aliens in gestating sacs :) Something that might have added an extra oomph would have been to pull back on the backlighting a little, to allow you to add a touch of light from the front, which would have given somewhat of an xray effect, rendering the pods not just translucent, but transparent. In terms of being an abstract, graphic image, I like this a lot, though perhaps the bottom right pod is a little too dark
