For the first photo I used my kitchen counter in order to give it some contrast since they both are completely different patterns. While doing so I did noticed that it makes it harder to see the shadow. For the second photo I used a sheet of aluminum foil. I used this in order to see how shadow and work off of a reflection.
The countertop is more complimentary to the tomatillos. If you want to experiment more with reflections, the angle of the camera to the subject makes a big difference. The lower the angle the more pronounced the reflection. Works for puddles too.
