Another under rated photo - The buzby Berkley of the fruit world should have been a ten!

Nice effect. 7

Very striking composition -- really catches the eye. I like this very much. The entire image has a sense of movement, so I might like this more if some part of the image were more tightly in focus (providing a place for the eye to rest). The column that shoots out of the top of the frame pulls my eye out of the photo, and the bananas don't provide a nice place to settle my eye (due to the slight blur). LanSnake

Fantastic picture. I love it. I would love to see how how this was done.
09/15/2002 04:01:00 AM
This is fun, how was it done?
09/14/2002 01:07:00 PM
I liked very much the blue effect, but I would like the bananas a little more mature, yellow I mean. Good effect.
09/14/2002 09:53:00 AM
interesting use of colors
09/13/2002 06:17:00 PM

very cool! I hope you post how this was done. looks like something my husband would try.
09/13/2002 02:02:00 PM
fantastic! Is that just one banana, with two mirrors?
09/13/2002 11:55:00 AM
wild effect.
09/13/2002 10:01:00 AM
very interesting effect. i like it a lot. not sure if i'd rather see it straight up and down instead of on an angle, but it might help. also, the whole shot seems kind of soft and fuzzy. it might have helped to use just a little more light, so that you don't lose the effect but the main focused banana gets a little more focused and little brighter in color. overall, i dig it. 7.

I don't know whats going on here but the overall effect is superb. 8-Martin.

Interesting
09/12/2002 08:58:00 AM

09/11/2002 07:28:00 PM

09/11/2002 01:29:00 PM
Cool banana show How did you do the blue like thing?
09/11/2002 11:11:00 AM
way trippy! laserific!
09/11/2002 11:02:00 AM
Hmmm, ...this is curious. I have to come back to it. I gave it a 5 now since there's no skip button, but I will review it later.
09/11/2002 10:10:00 AM
interesting photo :) I think the slight tilt to the left is a little odd, but it's a uniqe image... good work :) - jmsetzler

Freaky effect. I really like that blue. But the bananas look sickly. I'm eager to learn how you did it! - 8
09/10/2002 09:41:00 PM
Very, very unique and original...nice job! I hope you'll let us know how you did this. One of my faves!

Good luck in the challenge! Grayce...aka...Gracious

Intriguing shot. I think the reflection of all the purple makes the color of the 'nanas look a little odd. lhall-6

Points for being 'odd'
09/10/2002 10:50:00 AM
Pretty Cool!
09/10/2002 02:12:00 AM
This really stands out.. I like the purple color "shooting" up from between the mirrored bananas. It's very different from the rest of the "bunch" (hah) we have to look at.. i like it! Tidbits that do bother me.. I would have straightened it since it should be balanced completely. There is a slight blur that bothers me, but I'm assuming that this is due to the mirrors. Maybe for fun, play with the colors to make the bananas more yellow? Overall, 8! Jenguin

This is wierd. I like the strangeness of this though. Kinda eery
09/09/2002 11:45:00 PM
Leaves me baffled. I guess i like it but i'm not sure why. 5 sjgleah

Very cool idea, are those floresent lights coming out of the middle? Overall, the shot seems too dark, but probably not possible with the effects you were using. How did you suspend the bananas? 7 Swash
09/09/2002 06:38:00 PM
what am I looking at? looks cool, I would like to see more yellow in the bananas.
09/09/2002 04:37:00 PM
Very interesting. I really like the effect here. It could stand to be just a bit brighter. Focus looks good. 9
09/09/2002 03:24:00 PM
Cool effect. karmat
09/09/2002 12:00:00 PM
i not so sure of the blue filter or color on the bananas or the movement 9 otherwise great idea bobgaither
09/09/2002 11:57:00 AM
strange but interesting...
09/09/2002 11:36:00 AM
The colours in this shot are awesomely beautiful. Brilliant idea, outstanding artistic merit and superb composition; don't know how you did it, but what a superb shot… (10++)
09/09/2002 09:00:00 AM
ok I have idea what this is but it is a very creative setup. You need some more lighting and better focus though.
09/09/2002 12:52:00 AM
This is REALLY, err, warped. (heh)
HOW did you do this? Despite the slight blurring, around the bannannas tword the back, which I imagine is due to a mirror, I LIKE the overall image's strangeness and originality. That blur is the ONLY thing that detracts. 9 -lennier
