 I had no inspiration for this challenge but had to enter something for my team. Bleh. I bet I'm not the only one in this boat! I tried a bunch of other ideas and every one was crummy...so I put together my old standby - a set up fruit shot. I got some positive comments about my amorous bananas in my Larson shot so I thought I'd elaborate. Hopefully it get's an OK score for my team's sake.

Shot outside (in 8 degrees F!!!) in raw. Raw conversions. Elements - levels, hue/saturation, minor cloning, burn, dodge, selective color, guassian blur, blur, unsharp mask, neat image, crop, border, save for web.

Back to doing weird things with fruit, eh? I truly think fruit is your forte, but you've really come up with unique and impactful photos in all your entries. You're 'Aimee-zing'!

Good shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/05/2007 01:36:13 AM
lol i had this same idea but no bananas :( The background seems to clash, giving this a more (for lack of a better word) sensual lighting/setting it would have made it funnier and more a-peeling (pun totally intended) :D 5
