Water Melon and Juice

watermelon - final (s)

The picture of red juicy watermelon in television ads always excited me. When I was growing up, the ads for refrigerators always had this beautifully cut watermelon waiting to be eaten. Hence, I decided to create this magic at home

  3. In addition, there was tube light in the room
