Watermelon, Dubrovnik

This was taken at a farmer's market in Dubrovnik. Comments are

appreciated.

The more you look at this photo, the better it seems. At first I was looking at the colours, becasue I was thinking here's this guy trying Velvia slide film in the same place at the same time I was, so that was my interest. BUt the composition looks a lot better when you study it, aor I think it does. The shadow in teh bottom left balances the sky patch in the top (almost) right, and teh fact that it isnt't quite the top right tilts the balance, which tilt is matched by the line between the foreground left umbrella, through the background umbrellla, to the prominent melon slice. 'Boston' they call melon in Bosnian. They may not spell it that way but that's how it's pronounced. Did I say that out loud?

 

 

I wasn't sure how the blurred background would look. In fact the only reason it is blurred is because I was too lazy to set up the tripod. I think it came as a respectable shot. I wish I had one with greater depth of field though. I see you captured that beautiful blue Adriatic sky in your attachment. Very nice.
