I really like this image because of how the angle allows the light to hit the stem and top of the tomato. You can see the texture really well in this shot and it creates a neat backlit situation to show the shape and texture.
Things I've learned: I mostly shoot in Aperture priority mode on my camera, as my main goal is to control my depth-of-field in most shots. However, in this study, I was forced to work more creatively in manual mode so that I could get the exact lighting effect that I needed. Aperture priority is fine when you aren't worrying much about light exposure, but once lighting gets tricky, it's sometimes time to go full manual with your camera and tweaks things a bit more.
