This shot took a little longer than anticipated. I didn't shoot tether this time so I viewed every photograph through the camera. Lining up each utensil in a straight line took a little time. This was a fun shoot and I will definitely re-shoot this one to balance the photograph even more. 

What did I learn? Shoot tethered, always...Use a fresher looking tomato...bring my white cards in closer. Overall, I'm happy with this one. Learn and grow!

And the final image...

ISO 200, 50mm, f/9.0, 1/125 (Initial metering read f/8 but I bumped it up 1/3rd to f/9 to render more white on the background. f/10 was too much, I tried it. f/11  really blew out the highlights...
