 I forced myself to enter something this week. It's hard to be competitive in a macro competition with a fixed lens point and shoot, but I tried! Not much to say about it-- it's a banana on some sandpaper. I'm not thrilled with it. I'll be happy if it gets a 5, and won't be surprised if it doesn't.

It was difficult to find out what it is, but maybe with a better surface colour or texture the picture would improve.

Very interesting cropping. It breaks this image into a pleasing series of curves. I feel like the spots on the banana kind of interupt that. I think this would be better with a less ripe banana and in black and white to really break it down into shapes and tones. The color sort of spoils the effect for me.

Nice, simple line and composition. Like it.
