 I have taken some poetic license with the title; it is actually straight from the supermarket. The image has been inverted; the lettuce is hanging from a black thread through the roots. Shot with two strobes with black foamcore as the backdrop. Cropped, curved, and sharpened in post-processing.

I really like that. The black background is unexpected. This has commercial appeal.

Very nicely done stock photo. Lighting illuminates the subject well while still keeping texture. Maybe a bit higher saturation to make it look more appetizing, but great job.

The Platonic Lettuce. Points for clarity. Wish for some actual setting for a "garden" photo, but this stands on its merits.
