Description

A stack of three heirloom tomatoes, of different colors and sizes, sits precariously on a wooden block against a smooth grey background. The top tomato, a dark maroon color, is falling from the stack, with water droplets surrounding it. The middle tomato is a smooth, ripe yellow-orange color with shiny water droplets. The bottom tomato is large and has ridged segments and deep red and green tones. Water is pooled around the bottom tomato. The wooden block is a light honey-brown color and also has water droplets on it. The lighting is even and diffused, with a slightly cool tone, highlighting the textures of the vegetables.
