 Alright, so this is really a coffee grinder, and you can't actually reduce the size of a banana... It's the best my feeble mind could conjur up this rainy, dreary Sunday.

As far as post-processing - just a little sharpening, levels, and cloning out of a couple of distracting reflections on the jar.

Did you try a clockwise rotation so it would look like a functioning (wall-mounted) machine? Very funny anyway! : )

This is sooo funny. Great idea and creativity. Deserved much better than a 25th place finish.

Good Idea, not so good background. Still worth a 7.

A very clever idea! But maybe it's taking several small bananas abd merging them into one large one! Exposure and focus right on. May work a bit better in more of a diagonal composition.

How clever, and a really good shot. Not sure I like the carpet background, but well done none the less.

Creative. I might have tried a darker, less neutral background.

Good idea but you should try some other background. This carpet is not working.

Very cute idea for this challenge! I'm curious to know what this little gadget is really for. The colors and focus of your picture are great. The crop is just right, too. I think it might have been a bit better with a different background than the rug, hard to find at home in a 24 hr. speed challenge though.

LOL! I love this one! If you had a better backdrop you would have gotten a 10 from me, something more solid and up the lighting just a tad. As is a 9

The best idea of the challenge. Absolutely superb. Just a bit flat with the lighting.

very funny. well composed in all respects except the background. I think you could have chosen a more interesting surface rather than the carpet.
