Verdulerias Lit from Below

On sunny days, vegetable stands can have a goulish lit from below effect as reflected light, in this case from a very bright, white building across the street, provides the primary light.

Here's the same artichoke as above but flipped upside down and reversed horizontally. It looks more normally lit.

Some brocoli and tomatoes, also flipped over, even tho it looks normal like this.

These beets are lit from a more regular angle but I love the glowing reflecting in the glossy surface of their stalks.
