		| This is very nice although I have a feeling it would do better in a different challenge. I have a feeling people will vote it down because it could've been taken somewhere other than the zoo. I really like it though. |

		Excellent photo of your melon. But its hard for me to give it more than 5 because of the challenge. I am looking for animals here.

		| I'm not sure what to do with this.  Are you saying that when you bring out the watermelon it's a real zoo around there? I'll go with that and give you an outside the box 6 for creativity. |

		Having read the challenge description,  I am certainly aware that "things you might see at the zoo" are viable shots for this challenge.  Even so, I'm much more inclined to vote favorably on kids and/or animal photos... however yours is a fabulous exception and I'm glad to vote it a 9.  
 
 As for the photo itself, besides the obvious (color, focus, exposure) what I like so much is the composition, for example, the way the deep red of the watermellon starts and ends in the all-white areas of the plate and then the background.  Also like the blue/white  checkerboard being used to frame the shot.  Bravo! |

		| Cute picture.  Can you picnic at zoos?  It isn't really fitting the challenge for me though.  Sorry. |

		| And because you're at the zoo this snack will cost you $2 per slice.  I'll spare you the "Where's the animal?" comment, as I'm sure you've had a few.  This is without a doubt, the best watermelon shot I've seen so far in this challenge ;-)  God luck to you, it'll be interesting to see where the masses put this.  IMO, the composition & focus are great.  I might have used a grassy background or a picnic blanket or basket behind the plate to give a more outdoorsy feel.  Good luck! |

		| i acknowledge people often eat lunch at the zoo, but i don't feel this meets the challenge. |

		| I don't think I'd carry a watermelon around a zoo however I  like the message you're conveying.  7 |

		Out of the box! niiiice.
 Ok, i gotta admit I don't think the zoo has such lovely plates for the snaks, but personally I love this idea a lot more then most of the other pics in the challenge. 
 Also, I think the BG is a bit blown out. I would love to see some details in it. 8 |

		| Probably will be voted down because there's no animal in the shot.  However, I've seen this before at a zoo.  :-)  I think the white in the top is a little overpowering however (IMHO). |
