Image Solution:
focal length @ 32mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / 1/60sec. - f/4 / exposure comp @ -0.3EV / ISO @ 320 / white balance @ auto. / AF - mode @ manual / metering mode - combination of in camera matrix metering, and hand held spot meter, sampling three anchor points, for balanced light distribution. / color space @ sRGB / lighting solution - Nikon R1C1 wireless close up speedlight system; both light units set to ¼ lumen burst with a wide dispersal pattern. / tone comp @ +0 degree / hue adjustment @ +1 degree / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / support platform – tripod assist, with macro focusing rail, and a cable trigger release /

Wow, really nice. Love the placement of all three cherries, like how the shadow is pointing forward, the reflection help define the round shape. The color look delicious too. Excellent!
