This is a banana. I pealed it and abused it. My fiance ate it when I was done.
I used auto-levels that corrected everything and increased the saturation and sharpened it. Used dodge to get rid of the look of the white table and here and there on the banana.

I gave this a 9. I too thought it was clever and . . .it is a nude banana. People just can't help but take everything literally. sigh . . .

Its very refreshing to see someone take a simple piece of fruit and display it in all its glorious nudity. Great imag, and great out of the box thinking!! Keep it up...who knows some of the more narrow minded voters will eventually figure it out..!! lol

I gave this an 8, I think it's a great stock shot too...

And thought it was funny...one of the few non-nudes I actually thought was funny.

;)

hmm... How widely can one define "nude"? But I guess this fruit can always be let in (no pun)!

Good shot, and I get the inuendo (I think). Still not technically a nude. Points though for excellence anyway.

clever

a tad over exposed around the edges.

"I GOT ERECTION" by Turbonegro (gotta download this song dude)

This is different...... BUt kinda' cool, I like it. Well shot, no doubt about it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

IMHO this shot is mildly insulting to those of us that actually chose to get outside our comfort zone and shoot or pose in an actual nude shot...

Cute, and well set up. But colors appear uneven (oversaturated?).

great twist on the challege, like the picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/26/2005 10:36:38 AM
This is out of the box, but good. I like it.

hey! put that back on! indecency.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/25/2005 11:24:06 PM
Too too funny. Once the chuckling stopped I realized what an excellent shot this is.Texture contrast and layout all work well. Deserves a top 3 finish
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/25/2005 06:40:52 PM
Very clever use of the theme - well done. Nice shot as well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/25/2005 11:38:14 AM
Funny and original. Good luck!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 07:13:46 PM
Nice shot. nice to have someone think outside the box. Not sure it will do well though. I like it and I would like to know how you got that banana to stand up like that.:)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 05:32:02 AM
sorry, not in this challenge, any other one it would be just great.
08/24/2005 04:19:41 AM
Excellent shot that may be seen by some as not in category.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/24/2005 02:28:12 AM
Such a well taken banana. the shadow looks unnatural though. also it's in the wrong challenge. 6

08/24/2005 12:45:38 AM
Great shot. Fun Photograph adn actually fits the theme.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 07:49:31 PM
I love this one - giving it a 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 06:38:33 PM
Good idea ... diffrent form all the others

08/23/2005 06:03:52 PM
Doesn't fit the challenge
08/23/2005 05:23:17 PM
exelente la idea, genial

finally someone with guts to show true nakedness. =P nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 07:20:16 AM
...it works...probably one of the most creative thinking images of the challnge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 07:03:25 AM
This one realy stands out in the middle of all the somber b&w. Great composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 04:52:14 AM
So it was a banana in your pants. Nice shot of fruit.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 04:50:28 AM
i like this a lot, great graphic feel, nice work - 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/23/2005 03:44:06 AM
I don't care if it breaks the rules of the challenge. I really admire the photo and the humor.
8 for technique and concept. You look good out of the box.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 10:46:04 PM
I like this photo a lot, but I simply don't think it fits the subject. (It's a clever substitute, but still just that.)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 08:03:07 PM
Very suggestive. 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 06:55:53 PM
LOL!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 06:52:08 PM
a less ripe banana would have looked better in the picture
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 06:33:37 PM
It is such a shame to take a photo this good and have the wrong subject. Technically, this is possibly the best picture of the challenge and I guess if you want to get absolutely literal, this is a naked banana but it is just too hard to get any real emotion, unless of course, the curve is an allusion to Bill Clinton, and then it is just ROLF obscenely funny. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 05:14:21 PM
Great shot, which is why I didn't rate this any lower than I did. I think the banana looks a bit more abused than I would have used. Gutsy shot, and I do hope that you're happy with the results.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 05:03:20 PM
Hmmm, a mouthful....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 05:00:13 PM
The top of Mr (Ms?) Banana seems a little oof and/or blown out. All in all, this is one nude banana.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 04:26:19 PM
Creative and truly disrobed, brilliant.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 02:17:41 PM
not quite a nude, but humourous nontheless ;)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 01:13:57 PM
Ah yes.... the banana, just had to have one didn't we
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Best of the show Out-of-the-box is best...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 10:44:30 AM
Cute.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 09:49:08 AM
Creative, maybe used a lower ISO. The image looks quite noisy. Maybe it was your cam. If so ignore noise statement.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 09:08:28 AM
odd that there seems to be a lot of noise in this photo...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 06:30:05 AM
Not sure why this was entered into a Nude challenge. Am I missing something?
08/22/2005 06:28:16 AM
Hahahaha! Great!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 04:37:47 AM
a great out of the box on this subject!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 03:43:53 AM
While the humor is high and technically the banana is nude, I don't quite think this meets the spirit of the challenge. However, the image is well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/22/2005 12:17:06 AM
This is a really great banana shot. 8.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/21/2005 10:23:35 PM
oh a banana! Let's bite it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/21/2005 09:54:35 PM
That's a damn good shot of a banana! I realize that "Nude" sounds a little like "Fruit" but better luck next time.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/21/2005 09:44:09 PM
Very creative.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/21/2005 09:04:00 PM
i am predicting a near brown on this one... its a courageous stretch of the challenge but i think most people connect nude to human bodies rather than bananas.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/21/2005 08:11:10 PM
ROFLMAO Ok, this is too funny for words. There's nothing like a nude banana. I love this on many levels.
