The Banana Effect

Hi Cole,

Greetings from the Critique club...

I like your play on words for the title.. it helps me know where you're going with the shot and it adds a bit of interest to it.

Technically the shot could use an edge(IMHO)-- much of it is oof although that could just be the slime on the bananas :) They appear soft (no pun intended -- really) and for a more domino-like feel some thing must be crisper. The bright light takes almost all the color away - it's flat and so adds no interest by itself. I like the diagonal line as it leads my eye through the shot. The black background is just right to set off the fruit.

I think you have a solid, albeit un-wow-factor shot.

Hope this has been helpful. PM me if you have any questions,

Regards,
Theresa

Creative lighting. I'd like to be able to make out the pointy tips. Good use of negative space

Very well done. The back lighting shows beautiful detail -- I like that you didn't go B&W to keep the color in the stems. Would like a bit crisper on the edges of the left-most lily. One of my favorites this challenge (haveln't looked at many yet so I'll be back to rerate that the end of the challenge!)
