| Birgit Langmann | Cool photo. Do you have one of her walking back in your direction? That would have added some more character to the photo. 7.5 |
| John Larson | A nice story line. I think I would try the shadows/highlight tool or burning to see if a few of the hot spots could be reduced. Score 7. |
| Karen Leonard | Pretty. The colors are so "on" in this picture. The face, rather than the back view of the woman, would be the issue in a competition. 7-8 |
| Al Sauber | The picture tells a nice story of the women carrying a bunch of bananas on her head. The picture looks a bit underexposed. The picture would be more colorful if the women was facing the camera. Score - 7 |
| Alan Thiese | Unfortunately the bananas blend in with the plant foliage. Would a side view have eliminated this problem. Score 7. |

Alex Lane-
Biography Started an interest in Photography in the late 50s with a Kodak Retina folding camera. Joined my first camera club ( Motor City) in Jan. 1960 and purchased my first SLR ( Pentax H3v) and went on from there. I did my own B & W as well as color printing and entered slides as well. I served in every office and am still an active member ( even though I live in Florida) . I enter Digital every month by e-mail. I joined the PSA in the early 60s but dropped out after a couple of years ( had no idea of who to contact on getting into anything). I rejoined again in the early 80s and served a International Slide Study Group Secretary for a couple of years and then became the Director of ISSG for about 18 years. I served as 2nd V.P and then 1st V.P. of the Photojournalism Division. As I have not been able to find any camera clubs in my area that have any competition so, I belong to a few PSA groups in order to be able to show or compete with my images. I moved to Florida in 2001 and now print with a digital printer ( no basement or darkroom in Fl.). My wife and I travel a lot ( 5th trip to Alaska in 2007) and I use Canon equipment with Epson printers. .
