Ketchup, scalpel and banana
Scalpel was so sharp it started cutting through on its own weight, so I had to hold both up with paperclips.

Tweaking with the shadows and contrast, bounce flash

:) composition, dof, focus all great. Colors work. Blood looks too much like ketchup though. Like the title.

This is a perfect demonstration of surreality. Humor sets of this surreal image with vivid color. Excellent job.

great idea. I wonder how it would look if the background was all white and the top of the bannana was blurred a bit????????????Love your title!!!!!!

NOw this is very original. What was used for the blood? I love the composition of the shot as its even and you left some room for breath on each sides. Colours are slightly odds tho, as the white burns up on the "table"?. Also the slightly uneven background and different colour throws off my taste for the shot. A frame would do some good here. 7

Surprisingly high emotive and surreal quality. I believe that comes from the good photographic lighting, focus, and compositiion. If this had been a fresh banana, I don't know that I could continue to look at the picture. I have somewhat less sympathy for a banana such as this which was obviously well past its prime. A 10.
