A really gorgeous scene; the high-key feel really makes those squash stand our beautifully. Well done!

Great uses of selective coloration (I'm guessing)

now we see your sharp composing eye. I love your angle (pov), the way you captured this huge urn to one side of the shot, let the arches---massive and imposing in this shot---dominate the other side and take up a larger portion of the shot (even though they're background), the off-center feel of it all, the sense of tiles moving on a diagonal to the walls, and that one pumpkin to one side of the urn, adding an unexpected 'twist'. The whole is an anti-symmetrical and anti-regal composition, very modern in feel, and it shows how many photos are possible in a place like this (if the photographer is keen and aware, as you are). I love the blast of orange in that bottom pumpkin. It almost has the feel of a high-end ad (ie, where they spend untold quantities of cash to fly to an exotic location, and do just this---put a big pumpkin to the side of a very old white stone structure, for an 'avant garde' feeling. It could be for a perfume, for all we know. With you, however, you didn't put it there, you captured it, and without artifice or pretension. The way you brought out the grime and soil makes it unpretentious, to my eye, which is why it's so appealing to me.) Nice soot, really. I'm glad you let it speak---these old buildings are very hard to keep pristine. They're old beasts. A really fine shot, Claude. I love the whole layout of it. Getting underneath the layout the creators 'wanted' us to see...

Or maybe they wanted us to see all this variation, but the owners didn't. I really don't know...maybe the creators were way ahead of the people who lived in these places...
