Hi Amanda,

Me? Worry about the nay-sayers on a shot like this? It was done in pure fun, and put a smile on my face while shooting it. A grown man, making a car out of 100% banana - HA!
One member thought the wheels were chocolate, so that would have been on the other end of the spectrum from "icky" I guess.

Thanks for the feedback, and I hope I put a smile on your face when you saw the shot. If so, the shot was a success!

Regards,

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Ah the silliness! I thought it was a cute idea- reminds me of one of those Richard Scary childrens books. I think the monkey has a car just like this! The main thing that turned me off about this picture was the color of the wheels and roll bar. I didn't realize that you had used a different kind of banana- to me it just looked like they had gone bad under the studio lights, and thus were kind of icky.

I know there is always some debate about the kind of pictures that we take on DPC- are they fine art, are they commerical, are they allowed to be utterly silly? I think that there is a place for all of these kinds of pictures, and I wouldn't worry about the nay-sayers.

Good luck in the future,
Amanda

I just wanted to put a smile on someone's face.
Hope I acheived it, as this was fun.
I was actually suprised it made it to 43rd place, and would have been happy if it only made 123rd place.
:)
