Originally posted by tanguera: Clean, well-lit, well-composed image, nicely edited. And because expert is all about details, just a nit about the slightly different perspective between the bottom half and the floating portion. The latter is angled just very slightly in the wrong direction.

Ah yes I spotted this after submission deadline. It was such a fiddly job getting the banana slices to line up I hadn't even thought of the texture lining up. May have to re-shoot one day:)

Thanks for lovely comments and useful feedback

YAY~~ Glad this finished high. Thought it was a front page contender!!

Not familiar with Basset Fauve de Bretagne. I'll check them out.

Very pleased with this result - my second highest score ever:)

@lawrysimm - yes I spotted this too on the laptop when the screen was rotated but it was too late by then. If I wasn't colour blind I may have spotted it in time to rectify it.

@Jutilda - yes the white one (Fergal) is a PBGV and the brown one (Molly) is a Basset Fauve de Bretagne.

@Dphoto - I am tempted to make a canvas print of it - would look rather nice in the living room:)

Thanks for all the very kind votes

Here is another photo taken back in 2007 of the 2 of them with the mother in laws dog

They look very comfy. The white one may be questioning your order to sit though. :) Nice portrait.

Voted earlier coming back to comment now.

Who needs to cut fruit when you have magic? Sprinkle a little magic on any fruit and it will be cut into nice even slices. Peel that banana! Its pre-sliced so you can instantly place the pieces in your fruit salad or cereal bowl - no knife required!:-) Lighting is great, the colors are spot on and the detail in the banana is fabulous (the texture and shape does not meld into the white backdrop but pops off perfectly) I also like how you laid the banana on a diagonal so that it cuts across the composition on a diagonal adding visual interest.

I love the color of the settee and how it is reflected in the colors of the dogs' coats. They're beautiful!
