Hi Susan- nice job on the tomatoes! You have a really good range of tones! The colors are good, but I think they could use more saturation. I see a lot of paper showing thru. Reflective highlights are not as white as the main highlight. It would also not go all the way up the right side as it does on your tomato on the left. It is creating a white line where the two tomatoes meet that should not be there. The right side of the tomato on the left should be dark. The reflective highlight of the left tomato should be on the lower right where the tomato is sitting on the surface. I would lighten the cast shadows and smooth them out.
Thank you. I’ll work on saturation and I do think the reflective highlight is too white. However, I thought there would be a reflective highlight off the rear tomato onto the front tomato. Is that not the case? How do you distinguish the shadow on the rear tomato and the dark side of the front tomato? I need not fear COVID-19 as I am almost certain that reflective highlights will be the death of me. 😉
