Awesome shot. One of my favorite fruit shots I have seen on this site. I love how you alternated the melons to give the shot more appeal. Very nice DOF. One of my favorite rhythm shots in this challenge.

Hi Luis

FIRST IMPRESSION:
What a beauty, eh

COMPOSITION:
Great, IMO. I think that if you had given it a bit more room on the right, it could have worked a bit better. Love how you left a hint of the ground on the bottom . nice use of the rule of thirds, placing 'waldo' right on the bottom right intersection. :)

TECHNICAL:
Well, you did it all right (lighting/focus/dof), I have the S30 as well, and I don't think I've ever managed to get such a sky under low lighting. Would be interested in knowing what you did in post-processing. :)

ARTISTIC:
Simply an amazing photo to look at. The sky colours are overwhelming. Defenitaly meets the challenge...great job and congrats on a well deserved 2nd (i had you as the top photo, but hey, second ain't bad) :)

Cheers and good luck in the future challenges.

Might have tried a contrasting or black background. Black would have absorbed the shadows.

i understand that you selected yellow background for the challenge, but the flower doesn't stand out very well against it... there is enough yellow in the flower itself... it would've looked better on a more contrasting background...
