After rating 66 banana photos I am completely fed up with banana-humor. Here is one of the very few where the photo it self is worth the attention, rather than the "funny" idea... It's a beautifully simple still live with a deceivingly simple compositin. The colours, light and softness all work together to get the feeling of a classical image. This one can hang on the walls for years, without becoming bored with it. Full marks!

I couldn't make out for myself whether it is intriguing or annoying that the model is standing in a car's headlights. I decided for the latter since the sun is so much competing for my attention. Nevertheless I rate it quite high for this is a photo with a story to tell, and the colours are just great.

An interesting technique well realized. Composition is out of balance.

How such a static thing as a mushroom can shake off the water... Great dynamic photo. The plantpot doesn't improve it.

Fully agree: remove the lights, and make the shape more perfect... and less interesting!

Architecture photography with a strong message: every construction relates to its environment. That is special, most other photos don't do more than recording the artwork of the architect. The editing could've been done better, but nonetheless this is one of the two best submissions to this challenge.
