thank you.
i was happy when i found the colors on the shadow,
i change exposure and amounts of reflecting lights to find the point where more colors i can capture on the shadow.
and i got this.

The color in the shadow really adds a lot - I always try to minimize my shadows but you really made this work. I might have to experiment with shadows more.

i use sun light for most of my shadow free colorful shots.
because, it is very difficult to create totally deffused light in the studio by lights.
try when it is cloudy or rainy day, or just go to a shadow place when it is a fine day.
make no sun light hits on your subject.
and take a shot.
if it came out dark, make shutter speed slower until you get bright shot. you may need tripod in this case.
that is how i got most of my shadow free shots including this.
if you want to do it inside, set something translucent by the window (as a diffuser) and put your subject inside the projected area.
this may give you a bit stronger contrast but it will come out even too.
i took most pastries (cakes) in this way. and i took another shot without diffuser to get reflection on the top and merged both good parts by photoshop.
but recently, shadow free shots look very flat to me, so i added shadow by putting black board on both side of the subject.
combination of these technique would give me waht i want now.
hope this will give you some idea to get waht you want.
good luck!

I usually shoot my pictures existing light. Either using sunlight or I have a few 6500K compact florescent lights. I have been thinking about trying some reflectors to better distribute the light.
