 I love these boys and they love bananas so it was only right to think of them as soon as I read this 24-hour challenge. It just so happened I planned on visiting them today.

This is a nice portrait. I like that the boys don't have shirts. It unifies the theme. I would have given it higher marks but I don't care for the motion blur (it looks like you used slow flash sync as fill light).
The foremost boy is too fuzzy. Also, you should take advantage of the maximum pixel size of 640 (I didn't lower the score for it in this case).

I like this entry. I understand how hard it can be to make kids hold still.

adorable. I like the expressions, very natural. Wish the image weren't blurred - I like to see those beautiful faces better.

Could be an ad for the Banana Council. Really perfect use of kids and bananas.
