I tried to do this one using natural light only, but the Fruit was casting long shadows on my background in the afternoon sun. I had to resort to a fill flash.

Wow, i like this. I think the fill flash ended up giving you some pizazz in the highlights. It's a very nice arrangement

This is a great still life. I love the colors and the shapes. Would love to see other variations on this theme with different angles and arrangements. I think the elements might be arranged differently for a more dynamic composition - I would like to see you swap the positions of the green pepper and the white thing with green stem (what is that anyway?). Still think this is worth the three, though, as much as anything for the lighting, color and contrast.

Really nice shot, I don't mind the fill flash, like the sparkle it adds to the pepper. I also like the colored reflection/shadow on the ground.

You've taken some simple elements and put them forth in an uncluttered, non busy way. Thsi gives a viewer an opportunity to focus without being distracted. Good work.
