Taken with my brand-new Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens!

A total of 5 bananas were harmed during this photo shoot. Please, think of the bananas.

I don't normally like staged photos but this one made me laugh. Nice job. You captured the theme in a very creative way.

7 - Well executed. Criticism; whilst the colors and lighting work well, I would like to have seen the 'blues'/background/base/etc more subtle if possible, really making the bashful banana 'pop' out. Not sure on the frame, maybe it helps with the 'subject' though.

Well done. It's a shame there are so many banana shots, they begin to lose their impact. A good shot non the less.

Nice work! The blue background really compliments the photo and makes the subject pop.

Hah! This is a funny one. I like it. Did you try seeing what it looked like without the peel coming off to the left? Looking at the condition of the banana peel and fruit I'd hazard a guess you took a handful of shots (hard to keep it from browning - I know, I tried a banana shot for a challenge once). ;^)

Anyway, you should do well with this one. Good luck in the challenge.

Clever! This is just what the theme wanted to see!

The background is a bit of a distraction to me - especially the highlight at the base.

Good job positioning the peels, I just don't care for the background too much, I would have liked just a dark black.
