Mucky, it really doesn't, if you look at it again, you will see that the background could be seen as white water and the fish are on top in a school. I especially liked the background for that reason. I normally use contrast and value in my quilts and if you see the center of interest first, which are the fish and are darker than the lighter background then it's ok...welll in my opinion. I use my art background to help me. The background in my opinion, supports the center of interest very nicely in this case.....
