A lesson I learned some time ago was to never stretch a title to create relevance. Also, it looks like you used your camera's flash. Next time, try natural light or lights off the camera.

Oh dear, this photo suffers from poor perspective and technique. The subject (5 bananas) meets the challenge, but the angle you shot the image from (bottom of the fruit) makes the bottom blown out and out of focus while the tops of the bananas are also out of focus. The camera focused somewhere in between....try reshooting this with more distance between your subject and the camera, and I think you will get a more consistent and pleasing image. Good luck and keep trying!

Some honest feedback with standard (my opinion) disclamier:
Lighting is harsh, bad shadowing, crop is way too tight, but focus is good. Generally nothing interesting about this shot to me. It is like you are shoving a 5-pack of bananas right up in my face.

Although the topic is simplistic, these challenges tend to be very tough to shoot for.

Hope this was helpful.

The light is too harsh and I don't like the background, but I like the angle. Nice shot!

Excellent colors in this one. The composition is OK. It almost look slike a flash was used. It would've been cool to see more of the natural texture of those tips of the banana.

You need to check your aperture and iso settings. This is way too much light for this shot. It looks very unprofessional
