Laugh out loud funny - technically perfect - a terrific artistic impression make this a wonderful image to review. Rather than wax poetic about the out of the box originality in evidence, let's just sit back and enjoy what should be a ribbon winner. Terrific idea perfectly executed. Well done.

3 fruits turned upside down doesnt make a photo for me, although with a little less like and a bigger DOF(cause the front of the banana is oof and a bit distracting) could make it better...

in a friendly manner, grgkopanas

A good solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal. A good entry into the challenge.

Very nice use of depth of Field to emphasis the subject. Lighting is good, I think if she had looked at this camera in this particular shot it might have impoved it.

Very unique subject, pp and shot altogether. I think the black dots across the horizon are a bit distracting, but I'm looking forward to reading more about how you took/processed this. Great coloring.

Comment by Teafran:
Very interesting - an infrared view I would guess. Or infrared like which is almost the same thing. The only problems I see with this are the fence post tops in the background which distract and don't contribute to the overall composition in any way. Very interesting effect. However, I don't think it fits the overall intent of the challenge and would have worked better as an entry in an abstract challenge. I'll split the difference. :>)

I really like this. Some people might not like the overexposure/high key but I do.
