I'm glad you didn't use an apple :) I feel the comments would have changed to "that's a cliche concept" if you had... good work :)

-- and NO -- i didn't consider using an apple

this is a self portrait - i covered a stool with a black t-shirt and set the bananas on it in the middle of a dark room (it really was past 2 in the morning) i sat in a chair right next to that setup, and had a spotlight next to me aimed at the nanas - i set up the camera next to the stool, pointed back at me - i positioned myself so that i could see the reflection of my eye in the center of the lens, then looked at the nanas and clicked the remote --- this was the most compelling shot i could muster out of over 130 of these i tried

I have to know how u did this! awesome photo. The greenish tint is the only thing that bothers me. Otherwise very nicely done!
09/15/2002 08:35:00 PM
unusual approach, but captivating at the same time....
09/15/2002 07:19:00 PM

That's so cool! I love the weird drama you created here. It's like Clint Eastwood staring down some punk. I have no idea what that has to do with bananas, but it's kind of surreal and I like that. 10 for creativity - lisae

Cool concept. :)

Pretty clever reflection image. =7 syamjonimi

Ha! This is certainly a unique shot... I'm impressed with the creativity! It has a sinister feel to it, as though those damn bananas are about to attack or something...

Unique and well done! Congratulations! Good luck in the callenge. Gracious aka Grayce

quirky. I did not even notice the bananas in the eye until I saw the admin note.
09/13/2002 06:06:00 PM
woah, that is cool looking!
09/12/2002 07:20:00 PM
Very cool! Good thing for the title, I almost missed the bananas. I guess I wish you could have gotten even closer (so the bananas would be larger), other than that, this is just plain great! 9 Swash
09/12/2002 06:20:00 PM
Kick ass.
09/12/2002 06:17:00 PM
Very interesting! 6 -lennier
09/12/2002 04:27:00 PM
wow..almost didnt see the bananas in his eye...wonder how u did this.
09/12/2002 05:35:00 AM
Great capture! Mustve been tricky to set up. Good light. 8 - floyd
09/11/2002 11:49:00 PM
took me a minute to see the fruit. Wow! Original but I don't care for the green tint on the hair and on part of eye(right hand side). 8
09/11/2002 08:14:00 PM
very interesting concept :) this is definitely unique in the challenge... good work.. = 7 - jmsetzler
09/11/2002 11:00:00 AM
Very nice concept...My only nit is the size of the bannana's and the darkness of the eye color keep the shot from popping to me...stil very ambitious and nice...8..hokie
09/11/2002 10:26:00 AM
great shot (im so glad you didn't do the apple of your eye!) great composition and color, very creative idea. would like to have seen more of the fruit... it just doesn't occupy enough of the frame. (8) ~mcmurma
09/11/2002 12:44:00 AM
Intriguing idea.
09/10/2002 11:15:00 PM
Excellent.
09/10/2002 07:42:00 PM
oh very cool! i didnt catch this at first ... nicely done ... ayme-9
09/10/2002 06:01:00 PM
Your shot shows a high level of technical difficulty. (I doubt I could pull it off.) Without the title I would not have been able to recognize the item in the pupil of the eye.
09/10/2002 02:41:00 PM
Clever idea...
09/10/2002 01:26:00 PM
This is the best entry by far :)
09/10/2002 12:45:00 PM
Great shot, one of my favorites this week. I MUST ask, did you consider using an apple? (of your eye!)
09/10/2002 06:00:00 AM
Really interesting. 9. lnede
09/10/2002 02:27:00 AM
I have to assume this is real so I like it a lot, I have my feelings though. Nice shot
09/09/2002 09:36:00 PM
Great detail and focus. Excellent execution. A red apple would have been a lot more profound in the meaning.
09/09/2002 08:48:00 PM
great concept!
09/09/2002 07:45:00 PM
I can't wait to hear how you did this one. I probably would have gone with the title "Apple of my Eye" and used, obviously, an apple. Maybe you tried that and apples don't work as well. In any case, I'll hope you'll us some data, I'm eager to try this one myself!
09/09/2002 02:59:00 PM
Fascinating setup! 7 Jak
09/09/2002 02:56:00 PM
huh?
09/09/2002 01:35:00 PM
very suttle, but is a photo manip or is it legit? I dont know, I give it a 8 anyway
09/09/2002 01:26:00 PM
Most intriguing shot. I think that I would have liked to have seen more of a close-up of the eye to emphasize the bananas. I want the bananas to be the "subject", not just "in" the photo, but that is just my perception. lhall-7
09/09/2002 12:08:00 PM
time or position nice concept of the reflextion of the eye i don't know whether to give you a 9 or a 10 9 for now bobgaither
09/09/2002 01:30:00 AM
interesting. you could have done 'apple of my eye' hahhha.
09/09/2002 12:48:00 AM
Great picture!
