I like this one Andy. Some great lighting which you've handled well. I like that the eye is straight down the camera rather than looking at the cards. It makes you feel you are the opponent.
Well lit and shot: a really good interpretation of the theme.
Hi ya
cracking image Andy , your handling of lighting is just getting better n better ( prepare yourself for a barage of questions at the meet)
No crit from me on this as I really like it , the lack of catch lights works for rather than against as it's quite a dark ( read sinister) image![]()
Hi Andy very sinister and really well lit, it obviously pays to experiment with the groceries,
Have to go now as i am quite creeped out
Lines... Absolute cracker
Play....slightly sinister look well done![]()
HI Andy, Play really like what you done here the eye draws you in looks even better on flickr with the back ground
"Play" is great, I really like the lighting and might nick the idea of a Pringles snoot off you if I may.

brilliant shot, composition is great, colours are great, you clearly have a good imagination.Super shot and good imagination Andy. Nice clean white background which isn't easy at all which I think is down to some good lighting on this. The colours of the bananas is just right - not too saturated. Top shot.
Lovely - nice composition - got the pose of the manequin right. Super yellows too.
That is definately "man stitching" though!![]()
Hi Andy, very good and well thought out, nice light and composition,
there is nowt wrong with that![]()
Excellent Andy, as said by Peter, lighting looks good
You sure that mannequins qualified to do that!

A super fun pic....great imagination and a lot of work in there I'm sure, all on an excellent pure white background.
Ha ha Brilliant.... I really like that...and such a creative idea. Nothing to crit at all for me
Just to echo what's already been said Andy, brilliant (n)
Creative thinking at its best, executed perfectly. The even lighting is bang on too, really no crit to add.
Care to share your lighting setup?
Cheers

Hahaaaa that's excellent, your dry January is certainly not effecting your nutty mind
I really like how you have set that up, great even lighting as usual and super detail including up to the evenly spaced stitching, I now Nominate you as the official Meet 'First Aider![]()
Play - Nice Composition and lighting (Pringles tube excellent)
Close - Really fun and well thought out. Bang on with the exposure to white out the BG.![]()
brilliant shot, composition is great, colours are great, you clearly have a good imagination.
Good lighting on the bananas. Great idea well executed.
Great, from the lighting, colour, positioning, all great![]()

Most excellent - either you are taking this too seriously or I'm not making enough effort![]()
Clever idea, great lighting.
I like this! It's very fun and fits the theme perfectly of course. I've gotta get more creative to be able to compete.
It's al been said really. Very creative, beautifully lit and strong true colours.
Brilliant Andy, great lighting and detail in the banana skin. This certainly made me chuckle![]()
I cant really add to whats aready been said Andy. Great, fun image thats spot on technically and compositionally. Brill.![]()
Hi Andy
Play - good detail and lighting and I agree with DK about the eye contact to the viewer being spot on,
Close - all been said. Top shot .But I could ask you the same question as you have posed to me - any reasoning behind the layout of the bananas?

) well laid out & a good fun take on the theme....Woody come's in very useful at times Close - That really is very imaginative and completely different to any other photograph I seen this week. I really can't say anymore.
Excellent Andy , you put a lot of time and thought into your projects and it certainly shows
(hangs head in shame )
Hi ya
No crit to add from me....great lighting (though I would be interested to see the SOOC version) well laid out & a good fun take on the theme....Woody come's in very useful at times

Thanks....
That sounds like a challenge......
So, here's the SOOC. My edits were: slight crop to remove the upper right bit; cloned a few brown bits from the bananas, a quick straighten of the thread and, as I recall, not a lot more.
Cheers.
Close - SOOC for Lynneby andysheader (Posiview), on Flickr
You certainly are dedicated to this project! IIRC, in the last Photo52 I took part in, you would often try three or four different ideas before choosing your winner for the week. Me, I'm lucky if I have two different ideas to begin with -- and most of the time I only end up shooting one of them.Well, two epic fails later....bought some bubble fluid that is supposed to harden....was going to build a house....it didn't harden
Tried merging an el wire photograph I took with bubbles to make a nice abstract....didn't work
I was going to wrap myself in bubble wrap for a sinister take, but I suspect it would not have ended very well
Ah well it's all part of the fun.
Back up to the back ups it is then.
Cheers all.
