This was one of the first 20 shots I took, I went on to shoot another 80 and kept coming back to this one because of the symetry of the light. This was a 2.5 sec exposure and I used a flashlight to "paint" on the tomatoes.

This is my 3rd entry and I spent a lot more time on it that my previous entries. I'm expecting a personal best and at a score > 5

I really liked this shot, and scored it highly. Red can be such a harsh colour to shoot. But here you have managed to mingle it and make it warm. Very well done, should have scored higher though in the challenge
The background is very distracting, with the black against the circle of red. This makes it harder to focus on the subject, a plain red background would have been better.
