Lovely contrast of colours. They are nice but I would have like to have seen a couple more with greater depth of field.

3 is my fav.
 
I like no.2...you wouldnt know what it was :)
 
Thanks folks - comments much appreciated :D - my fave is actually #2
 
número tres for me John (y)
 
very nice John. I like the focal plane you used in the first one although the green background is a little plain do you think? some nice tight bokah perhaps? :shrug: not sure, dont shoot me, i might not know what i am talking about, i know nuffin.
Love the middle one, very satisfying result I expect (y)
#3 is ok but doesnt rock my boat.
Great subject for this time of the season and all well taken, as usual ;)
 
Part Deaux for me :D Lovely colours (y)
 
Nice shots John, beautiful colours (y)

"Hand held and natural light" is moving them towards the champion end of the scale even :)

Oh dunno about 'champion' :thinking: but thanks anyway Anthony (y)
 
Like the colour contrasts in these shots John and I think no 2 for it's abstract nature appeals to me most. I too would have prefered a few with more dof. Still good though (y)
 
I'd go with number 2 theres an abstract feel to it very nice.


Electrical bananas? Were they any thing to do with the Banana splits from Saturday morning tv way back when??

Cheers Karl -

The Saffron and Bananas references are from the lyrics of Donovans hit 'Mellow Yellow' - mid sixties :)

Showing my age and knowledge of trivia I'm afraid :D
