This is almost really good. I don't like the pose of the right leg at all. The rest of it is very good.

I can totally identify with this picture. I even have a sippy cup or 3 just like the one on the right. Might want to fix your background and the cloth on the table They have some wrinkles. Good luck with the family

A little too soft. This looks like if clearer, it would've been a really nice pic. I'm not sure what greyscaling did for it, aside from taking away any problems there might've been with the lighting and such. Good effort

a little noise? I'm guessing this is not on purpose, but I can't imagine why. If it was you camera, my condolences. If it was on purpose... I don't know what you gain by adding this much noise..

Good use of a perspective shot here and also using the title to tie it in. It works very well for this challenge. I'm not saying its a winner, but a pretty solid shot with a good idea behind it.

I don't think you add anything to this photo by going greyscale. There really isn't a classic look or a vintage look to make this a better picture by going b&w. It doesn't have much going on in the photo and I think that really hurts it.

Bug on Banana

Composition - First thing I noticed when I saw this picture was that the bug is a little bit small for this shot. I wanted to zoom in on him but obviously that is not possible. His placement is too far up in the frame. This photo I think is applicable to the rule of thirds, put him on the upper left side but more towards the center of the picture. The banana is also a little dark in color from what I can remember about bananas. I don't know if it'd been sitting out awhile or a color adjustment was made post shot. I like the fact that we can see some of the peel, but I think it might've been conducive to show some of the outside of the banana, to add a bit more color into the mix. Maybe some of the color problem could've been alleviated with a little more light.

Technical - Regarding the lighting, I don't like the shadow cast on the banana by the peel, but not sure if you could effectively remove it. Its pretty crisp and clear, no real problems there. A little more exposure probably sounds easier said than done, considering this insect is alive and probably has the attention span of my 6 year old. Not a badly taken photo.

Overall - I don't think these subjects have the potential to generate a lot of score. This image is lacking a little in visual appeal, excuse the pun. There isn't a lot of color and really nothing extraordinary happening. I think you did pretty well with this picture in terms of taking it, but there are some things that I would've changed had I taken the photo. But it's not my photo, so I'm just here to tell you what I think. Best of Luck in future challenges - Bob

The horizon seems to be off a bit. Great idea and a very nice pic. The blue color is great.
