Melon

 

Hoping and thinking it would look like this.

The picture is a bit overdeveloped and even more so on the right side, tried to keep the developer longer on the plate there to get more of the shadowside of the melon, hence the veiling.

The picture was made with natural lighting and a reflection board of packaging foam. This was the third picture and I thought I was done. Now I'm not shure but the melon is gone.
