Each of the floating pieces is held in place by a toothpick which is attached to the piece of board that's in the background. The lighting is from a softbox and reflector placed very close so that there are virtually no shadows cast by the toothpicks.
I could have removed the horizon line in photoshop but that might have been a step too far in Advanced Editing; so I played it safe.

This is my favourite of the floating banana slices. I like the horizon. Would love to know your technique. I did a similar one for a different challenge and I ended up using a kebab skewer but the slices were still slipping all over the place:)
Well done! Not quite as interesting to me compositionally as some of the other splits (I think I might prefer a background with no horizon), but still very cool.
i could get technical and say that this is banana slices and not a split banana as it hasn't been bisected up the middle, but that would just be facetious on my part.
Technically a good image, good job cloning out the wire holding the hanging bits.
