Here's one to throw into the mix, just for fun!!! Now you can see what the geckos were going after in Gabe's pic...

bencelest · 09-06-2009, 11:53 AM

This is my first fruit of my California Gold.
It almost looks like Gold. Doesn't it?

Bob · 09-06-2009, 12:09 PM

Nice Benny, how old was the plant? How long to ripen?

Patty in Wisc · 09-06-2009, 09:34 PM

I don't know how the judges can pick just one. All the pics are absolutely beautiful & worth framing. Good luck to all!!

sandy0225 · 09-08-2009, 10:03 AM

here's another one, my daughter (13) Rachel took it over the weekend. She wants to take photography class next year in school. I'm not sure she really needs it! What do you think?

Jananas Bananas · 09-12-2009, 09:54 AM

Hey today is closing date at midnight! Come on get those pictures posted! I have seen your gallery photos and there are winners in there that haven't been posted.

lorax · 09-12-2009, 01:11 PM

As Jananas points out, the contest closes at midnight tonight. Come on, all you procrastinators!

Mark Hall · 09-12-2009, 01:46 PM

Variegated Rajapuri, Nagensium,Yangtze Valley.

Jananas Bananas · 09-12-2009, 04:39 PM

Oooh! I LOVE that variegated RajaPuri!

Taylor · 09-12-2009, 08:15 PM

Wasn't there a rule that they were all supposed to be taken with the camera straight up? There is no way they can even fit in the magazine page unless they are longer width than height.

Sadly, I don't think I have anything worthy this time!

CValentine · 09-12-2009, 08:31 PM

HI!! I'm going to enter this one:

Thank you!

~Cheryl

lorax · 09-13-2009, 01:38 PM

OK, folkies! The contest is officially closed, and let me tell you we will have a really hard time judging it this quarter. I hope to have winners back by next week sometime.

Thanks to all who participated!

Nope - that's The BQ Cover Contest, which is ongoing and where I hope to see all of your lovely portrait-format entries, with no deadline in sight.

This one was just your best photos on the subject ''bananas.''

LilRaverBoi · 09-14-2009, 09:52 AM

Good luck with the judging! By the number and quality of entries, it will NOT be easy! Great job everyone who participated and good luck!

Jananas Bananas · 09-25-2009, 12:07 PM

Hey do we have winners yet????

saltydad · 09-25-2009, 03:14 PM

I don't know how you are going to pick one from the excellent quality I've seen posted by you guys. Good luck!

lorax · 09-26-2009, 01:37 PM

I'm working on it, folks, but I'm hindered by a total lack of household internet and also the sheer volume of excellent photos submitted. Hopefully we'll have winners next week!

saltydad · 09-26-2009, 10:03 PM

Take your time. These folks take some fantastic shots. I don't envy you. (If you have no current, how are you posting? You have some monkeys on a treadmill?)

lorax · 09-30-2009, 01:02 PM

I use internet cafés, durrr! Still working on the selection of winners, btw.

Jananas Bananas · 09-30-2009, 01:39 PM

Maybe you can use some of the others for future issues! I wouldn't waste them for sure!

lorax · 11-24-2009, 12:08 PM

Well, competitors, our team of judges couldn't pick just four photos, so we've decided that.....

YOU ALL WIN!!!

Photos entered into this contest will be published in the center of the MegaIssue 3-4, due out in December (we hope)

Congratulations, all.
