Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Composition:

I like the negative space on the left of this shot, although I do feel that it's a bit tight on the bottom, maybe a little more reflection would give a bit more balance to the image.

Technicals:

Looks sharp enough and the exposure looks ok too.

Post-Processing:

The Bananna looks a little flat maybe a curves and contrast adjustment could have helped lift it a little. Plus a little sharpening too, although having said that the dandelion looks quite sharp so it's unfortunate that it's basic editing and you couldn't selectively sharpen.

My Opinion:

Quite like the image actually and with a slightly different crop and some more editing in photoshop this could have scored better, I know the subject was mundane but I think this needed a little more in the WOW factor, think Mundane on steroids - something that makes the viewer go "Wow now that's a Bananna shot!" or something similar ;)

Hope this was of some use, should you wish to discuss any part of the critique further please feel free to PM me.

Good luck in future challenges!

Interesting. The even light worked well for this image.

Nice concept here. I think the shot needs more of the reflection in it, less of the white space at the top.
