![]() Here we go again!
The rules, as usual: 1. One photo per entrant, please. 1a. I don't care when you took that one photo. 2. The subject should be banana fruit - how you interpret this is up to you. 3. Post your submission in this thread. 3a. You don't have to post high-res to the thread, but please have a high-res copy (300 ppi min.) on hand in case you win. 4. Our judges will pick four winners and announce them here. 5. The contest closes on February 28 at midnight Ecuador time (which I believe is EST, but I could be wrong.) The prizes, not quite as usual: There will be four winners. They win: 1. Publication of their photo in Vol 2 No. 1. 2. A year's print subscription. Best of luck! You folks have really been raising the bar for the contest lately, and I look forward to seeing what you've got in store for us this time. ![]() |

![]() My submission, a hand of ripening 'Santa Catarina'. The normal photo is really much more vibrant, but uploaded versions always seems to be washed out for me, oh well!

![]() Attached is my entry, but I am humbled by some of the other entries. This bunch of fruit is SH 3640, developed by FHIA.

![]() Ooops,
They are SH 3640 fruit, one of the cultivars of FHIA that was not resistant enough to Black Sigatoka to get the FHIA designation. I'll add the information to my previous post. This is the same bunch a few months later as my avatar. Thanks Beth!! ![]() Last edited by Caloosamusa : 02-05-2010 at 04:52 PM. Reason: add |
