Greetings from the Critique Club!
Wow, what can I say? Well, let me start off with that I love the shallow DOF you accomplished here. The detail on the banana and in the ketchup is wonderful. Very nice indeed, I can almost feel the texture of both of them.
But beyond that there really isn't a lot that appeals to me with this shot. As far as abstract, I'll be the first to admit it's not my strong suit but if I am to understand it correctly you are trying to convey a message in an unconventional way. This just looks like ketchup on a banana, nothing to really search for or look for in the meaning.
The title is also a bit long, sometimes they work for you but most of the time they don't. I have found if you have to explain your picture with the title you will lose points for that.
Second the light flare on the ketchup is very distracting. I like the lighting on the banana and the background is well chosen but the ketchup really seems over brightened in the one area, not sure if that's a window or flash flare. Maybe next time, skip the ketchup and go straight to the banana. With you camera and the right lense you could get really close to the texture of the banana itself and that could be an interesting shot.
Again, not a bad effort, can improve with practice and looking at your portfolio you seem to have an eye for some of this so keep trying!
I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!
