Too all the voters wanting this in color, I shot it that way about 35 times. Trust me when I say it didn't work well, and to me it didn't fit the challenge in color. All it said was, "A Macro of Bananas." The black and white said, "Curves of Bananas."
No reason to use black and white for a shot like this. A nice vibrant yellow perhaps with some ripened green would've made this a much more interesting shot.
I was going to shoot one of these, but all the bananas in the store looked like crap! :) The lighting is fantastic, I love how it drops of nrear the edges.
The bananas are too cropped, showing more of them would show the curves better. I like that the fruit isn't perfect (exterier marks and all). Added with the black and white, it gives the photo more depth.
Thought this was another dirty toilet rim shot at first (not meant as a criticism). Nice picture. Think the dead-ant-like blemishes detract from the curves and shadows.
Beautiful. Very subtal and I like it. Nice choice, black and white when you just really want to see the yellow. Gives it more of an achitectual feel. Which is good.
something about this really gets me, i can't even say what! all i know is that I would proudly hang it on my kitchen wall, and for that, my friend, you get a 9!
oh man.. i love this one. not just because i chomp bananas like a chimpanzee. lined up with all the other entries, yours is the one that really shouts "CURVES!" even in thumbnail size.
Har har. Good picture. I think smoother bananas (fewer spots) would have been better. Did you try this in color? Doing it in color may distract from the curves too much, or it may distract just enough from the speckles, I don't really know. But i'd like to see it in color.
i like the detail here, and the black in white is a very good choice for this shot. the only thing i dislike is the dark lighting in the lower corners. it detracts from the overall composition. nice shot, nonetheless.
I really like this photo but I'm wondering why you chose to go black and white with it? This is a good macro shot and I think the natural colors would have emphasized your curvature some more. I also know that it's hard to find perfect bananas :) Keep up the good work...
