Comment by DrAchoo:
Nice creativity. It seems like bananas and desk lamps have the most personality among inanimate objects. The picture has some technical problems which keep it from a higher score (gave it an 8). The dead banana is OOF which I think detracts as it is such a major subject. It also has blown highlights. Otherwise, well done.

Meets challenge perfectly. Very well executed (no punn intended).

The idea is there but I have a hard time sensing the grief in the bent banana.

cool cool cool image! love the effects and shadows. doesn't make me want to celebrate, because i'm usually a big chicken at halloween, but it certainly puts me in the halloween mood! darn good shot, and congratulations. it looks like it should be a cover illustration for a scary story collection...

ummm...no thanks...i dont dare to ;)

what a great spooky image you got. Im sure your getting "this is overprocessed" (as I am) but i dont think this photo would have the same emotive qualities that it does now. so IMHO this is very well done. Im not sure if i like the slant of this tho. still a 9 from me and good luck! :o)~~Cher~~

Without looking at the title, I would say this is more scary than a celebration, but I think it's in reference to the celebration of Halloween. I like the lighting, but wish there was a bit more...sharpness or focus overall. (I'm not a big fan of blurred shots). Sorry.
