Thanks Darren, Ann and Dan for your comments and interest in how I did
this image. I'll leave the psd online for about 24 hours if anyone
wants to see the original layered file.
Ann, it's too bad you don't like bananas...now what will I do with that
13x19 that I printed for you. ; >)

Darren -
The PUG image was cropped a little from the right - the original was printed
full frame for a birthday card for my daughter and included my logo in the
lower right and the text "Don't go bananas just because it's your birthday".
Here's how it was done - eight layers in PSE...
The fork and banana were shot separately on a black background. The primary
image was the fork and the background wasn't a pure enough black so I
created a a copy layer, turned the original image layer off, removed the
background, put an empty layer below it and filled it w/black. The
saturation on the fork was increased as far as it would go to bring out the
colors, then the right hand tine was selected, cut and moved to a new layer.
The free transform tool was used to bend that tine and the end of it was
selected, cut and pasted to a new layer so I could adjust how much would
stick out of the banana. Whew!!
The background of the banana image was also removed, the banana copied to
yet another layer in the original fork image and resized, moved, and rotated
using the transform tool until I was happy with how it looked. The text and
my logo were added as the top two layers.
I put the original psd here if you would like to see it in all its layered
glory. It's about 10MB :>)

The image that struck me (at small size) the most, and the one I still
have the most questions about (as in "i'm intruigued" is "Don't Go
Bananas" by Paul Sorenson. I'd love to know more about how that was
made, Paul (and why).
Really nice work by all.
