Some Like 'Em Ripeby

FIRST IMPRESSION: Yully-looking pic. I hope you made banana bread with the overripe bananas after you shot this.
CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.
COMPOSITION: The composition is good, I like the way you nested the bananas. Perhaps you could have improved the composition by putting points of interest (such as the stems of the bananas) at intersections of thirds.
TECHNICAL: The most apparent thing to me here is that the lighting was probably inadequate for this shot. I see you had to use a 1/20 second exposure, and in a controlled environment such as this it may have been appropriate to add more, or more powerful, lighting. This would have had the dual effect of brightening your shot and eliminating some of the shadows. Also, if your camera supports it, adjusting your white balance would have eliminated the orange tinge in the background (which is common in low-light shots, and sometimes indicates slight underexposure).
CONCLUSION: Good idea, decent execution. It might be worth going back to reshoot this as a learning exercise to see if you can improve the technical aspects of this shot.
Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!
