Nice composition. Slightly over exposed.

Nice dramatic lighting of a mundane subject. Don't quite care for the central placement of the open banana.

Very good DOF on a close-up shot. Good contrast and use of B&W.

Great close up. Good crop leaving the eye so that we feel a sense of concern on the models part. Great use of b/w (this would have be overpowering in color). Great expression.

A little tighter crop (so that only the glove is visible) and a little softer light removing the overblown highlights would have gotten a couple extra points. That aside, this is a good idea for the challenge.

I like how you included the glove in the shot. Focus and clarity are good. Lighting is great. I like the detail we can get out of the glove, and the ball. The textures are great. I tink it's a nice shot, and it's definately centered. technically good. I don't think I can offer any suggestion on how to make this better. ~Heather~

I wonder if your being recognizable will affect your score? This is one of the shots I wanted to try, but failed; your take is great!!!
