What can I say? I tried out this composition for a lark and rather liked the results, especially the textures of the bruised fruit and the slightly pitted old earthenware bowl. Shot in color, desaturated, toned slightly, cropped, and sharpened.

Wonderful yin-yang composition. This would've gotten high marks from me, especially since it meets the challenge so well. It would've been one of my highest scorers.
This is a gorgeous still life. I like the tones and the unusualness of duotone, rather than full color, fruit portrait. The tones make the bananas really pop.
