Here's the published results. The image is a palladium print from a 5x7 negative. The tree is a ficus tree in the park outside Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires. The root cluster is about 6 feet tall (2m for the metrically inclined), just to give you a sense of scale of the thing. The photo was taken with my Canham wood field, and I want to say it was my Goerz Am. Opt. W-A Dagor 4 3/8" f8 (if not, then probably the Rodenstock 90mm f6.8 Grandagon). Printed on Bergger COT320 paper.

I'm just tickled to have been selected a finalist, let alone 2nd prize! Thanks to everyone for your kind words.

Sweet! Wonderful image. What kind of tree is that?

[Scott Davis]

Kirk-

it's a Ficus. That's what they look like when they're allowed to grow in the wild, instead of being twisted into a braid at a potted plant shop. I think it's a relative of the fig tree someone posted in another thread here yesterday.

[David Lobato]

In Buenos Aires there is another enormous ficus tree in San Martin park, off the north end of Calle Florida. I was impressed at its span over such a wide area.

Well done!

[Scott Davis]

David- I think I saw that one also, but didn't have a camera convenient at the time (I was probably in a cab on my way to or from the Buquebus terminal to take the ferry to Colonia in Uruguay).
