Good Afternoon Moonlight,
I used Photoshop 6, ( PS6 ) I didn't do much to the original image other than dodge in some of the black background to the right of the strawberry as the torch did spill the light a bit, then extend the canvas a little to get the strawberry on the 3rd, took less than 5 mins total
The second image was just then a copy, paste, and a flip to get it facing the other way and line it up with the other one. took about 2 mins
Hope this helps

Thanks Nigel
Honestly, the red is straight from the camera, I'll take a look at your composition suggestion.
Appreciate your thoughts

Thanks K10D, I've not tweaked the saturation or vibrancy on either image so that's straight from the camera.

2 images from Friday evening,
Had this in mind for a while, shot using a black tile for the reflection, a piece of polystyrene roofing insulation painted black one side and a LED torch taped to a lighting stand.
Exposure 2.2 seconds, F7.1 100 ISO K1 with a Pentax 100mm Macro F2.8 lens plus tripod.
The second image is generated by copying and pasting the left strawberry and reflection, flipping the image then lining up to mirror the left hand side.

I have some troubles in making the backdrop white, because of the falloff of the light, it's never pure white on the border, even when I use both the slaves. I am not sure if it's normal or I can make it better. I tried with the slaves behind the subject or on the sides. Behind the subject is obviously better, but I have seen some setups with the light on the sides, not sure how it works for large backdrops. Advices?
You may have been better to go for a White BG to start with then by reducing the light or removing it altogether, moving from white through to grey and eventually a black bg. just a thought it would be easier to reduce the light rather than blasting it to get an overall white bg.I have some troubles in making the backdrop white, because of the falloff of the light, it's never pure white on the border, even when I use both the slaves.
