UPDATED: Caribbean Garden Photography Contest: Week Four Winners!

Posted in Photography on February 22 2012, by Ann Rafalko

Sunny mid-week greetings to you friends! The weather is just glorious here at the Garden, which might make it hard for anyone visiting to justify spending time inside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory today. But, I’m here to announce this week’s winners in the Caribbean Garden Photography Contest, which should provide some motivation to wander the lush galleries of the Conservatory, snapping shots in an effort towards winning one of our two $100 Adult Education gift certificates! This week’s batch of photos came with numerous rounds of  rapid fire tie breaking. Congratulations to the winners!

Note: Due to a violation of the date restriction in place for this contest, the original winner of the Sense of Place category has been disqualified. New winners are below.

Sincere congratulations to F-Sharp Photo and Rainbowsan, and good luck to everyone else! This week’s field is already looking very strong. There’s just two weeks left to enter, and we’re about to open The Orchid Show: Patrick Blanc’s Vertical Gardens (which will have its own, Instagram-based contest), so get snappin’ while the snappin’s good!
