This could use tighter cropping at the top.

Nice capture of her bright blue eyes and good skin tones but it could have been cropped tighter. We don't need to see this much of her busy outfit. The background could have been blurred a bit more. The leaves near the top of her head are in sharp focus and draw attention away from her face.

Sharper focus on the chimp's eyes would have raised this from a nice snap shot with an appealing subject to a dramatic portrait. The background is blurred but still a bit distracting because of the contrast of the blown out ground and the dark trees.

Bananas & Daisies

The background is a bit busy. There isn't enough light on the flowers. they may as well not be in this shot. I like the light falling across the bananas. There is a bit too much blue cast.

Cute but unoriginal. The lighting is flat which flattens out the forms. It's cropped a bit to tight.

The lighting lacks drama for this set-up. There is an overall flat quality to the image. To imrove this, have your model stand a bit further away and use a supplemental light aimed at the background. Move it around untill you get a pleasing shadow on the background. This separates the subject from the background. There is a bit to much blue cast.

As a set-up it works pretty well. The top of the banana is a bit out of focus, or perhaps there just isn't enough contrast between the background and the edge of the banana.

Very good composition and the subject is appealing in a humorous way. The cleverness works outside the boundaries of this challenge.

The composition is pleasing as an abstract. The lighting is a bit flat. I don't like the white and black borders.

This would have been more successful if the bananas were not obscuring the lower half of hs face. I know you want the focus to be on his eyes but I think the bananas and his hand are a little too blurry. Could a happy medium be achieved where the sharpest details are in his face without losing all the detail in the bananas? The lighting is great and the subject appealing. There is a bit to much purple cast to the grays.

A Gift from Above

Nice color and lighting. It's a very fake looking set-up though. It looks like what it is....someone holding bananas up to the sky. It looks more like an offering than a gift.
