I wish I could figure out how you got the bananas to stand up like that. Great idea and wonderful image! Congrats on top 10 finish.

This is great. Really makes you think.. underneath those skins they look just the same :) Back to bump it up to a 9.
10/18/2005 05:19:31 PM
Very nice coloring of green and yellow.
10/18/2005 04:20:29 PM
Cool concept! Obviously took a lot of work (and bananas!)~ ;)
10/18/2005 02:30:30 PM
Great job -- love the creativity and the time and energy put into this image. Looks a little oversharp on the "angry" bananas...regardless a top shot in the challenge -- 9 --
10/18/2005 01:52:43 PM
For some reason this reminds me of the Sneeches :)
10/18/2005 08:53:13 AM
wow, that's pretty good
10/17/2005 08:28:45 PM
The high contrast works well for the subject.
10/16/2005 10:02:50 PM
7 - Like this and the colors. Criticism; the crop detracts from the potential in my opinion. Not sure on the frame. Creative though.
10/16/2005 06:24:20 PM
What a way to make bananas seem so "human-like". :) Great job. I like the colors, and the use of empty space. I'm curious to know how you stuck all those bananas to the ground. :)

very good setup
10/15/2005 10:35:40 PM
looks great..!!
10/15/2005 07:13:41 AM
Love the idea and set-up. Meets challenge well while keeping great photo appeal. Some parts just look too over-exposed that the banana outline is lost.
10/15/2005 06:50:15 AM
Great humourous touch! Nice eyeflow and has some good contrast on the green skin. The light glare is a bit too harsh on the white meaty parts though. Overall a very good entry!!
10/15/2005 02:38:17 AM
This is an incredible image and personification. The DOF is well done and the posing, the title and the execution are just great
10/14/2005 12:13:50 PM
Good Idea and well implemented however I don't get what IMHO is strong enough feeling of disapproval. Also the highlights are a bit blown out on the green bannanas. So a little more work on the lighing would have helped.
10/14/2005 08:40:36 AM
Those mean green bananas! Pretty cool - great creativity. I don't care for the point of view. Not saying another would be better as I haven't seen another. Got a couple blown highlights but really nothing major - well done! 8 - good luck in the challenge!
10/14/2005 04:15:43 AM
Well done shot. Colors look good.
10/13/2005 10:36:24 PM
Great concept and set up. There are a handful of banana shots in this challenge but this is one of the best. I do see one pin though :)
10/13/2005 09:06:13 PM
hilarious!!! hehe!
10/13/2005 01:07:17 PM
Nice concept. You put considerable work into the arrangement and it was "fruitful." A wider DoF would have made all of them in sharper focus.
10/12/2005 01:41:25 PM
Excellent! I wish it wasn't blown out on the bananas (I'll have to dock you), but this does a great job of conveying a feeling. 9
10/12/2005 11:48:38 AM
too much halo effect, oversharpened maybe?
10/12/2005 10:37:59 AM
Cute idea, nice composition, lighting could use some work, there's also a lot of grain in the photo.
10/12/2005 09:33:24 AM
How in the world did you stand up that many bananas???? Great idea. Out of focus though. I think the extra white border detracts and makes the background look too gray. I think a solid black would have suited it better. I like the leading line of it and the clever imagination.
10/12/2005 06:16:14 AM
This is really well done!
10/12/2005 02:24:26 AM
Good idea. But is has kind of odd colors and is over sharpened that makes noise to appear more.
10/12/2005 12:49:09 AM
i dont know how you got bananas to pose like that, so thumbs up to you!!! awesome job. a true personification picture.
