I think I would have liked this shot without the sign. But that's just my humble opinion. I like the use of lines and rhythm.

How important to your picture is the No Parking sign? I think I would have left it out.

The No Parking sign is very noticeable and distracting. I suggest a different crop or shoot at a slightly different angle.

I wonder if a polorizer would have taken out the reflection. The would have really helped here.

Looks like an oversaturated sky. Its starting to pixelate a little. Good landscape though. Could use a little more exposure as well.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I concur with all of the compliments below! This is a funky picture of a blue banana! Many folks below expressed their displeasure for extremes of what is probably post-shot manipulation, but I figure that as long as you pushing levels, you may as well go all the way! But not if you want to win, I guess.

First, from this shot I get a feeling of fun and quirkiness. It is well composed with the banana positioned very well in the frame. The extreme contrasts go well with the extreme feeling you want to convey. Turn on the disco lights and let's boogie!

As far as it goes, I can't see much in this image to fix. If you wanted a more "natural" look, I'm sure you fiddled with it enough to get such. I think this image is true to itself and with what it wants to be. It is nothing really profound, but for an engaging romp, this photo takes us there.

From looking at your other images, I can see that you are exploring new ground, and that's always a good thing!

I look forward to seeing more good work from you in the future!

Thanks,

David
