OMG!!! I feel like I've finally "arrived" on DPC now. Someone has actually made reference to me in the title of a forum thread. ROFLMAO!
Thank you Idowse for pointing out my obvious lack of insight on what this truly was... LOL (Just kidding - about the poke of fun) I can't wait to see what arises from this debate!
You rock Idowse - in all honesty, thanks again both for your continued support and encouragement, but also for your constructive comments and enlightening conversation! =D [You made my week!]
Glad I could help!!! Consider it a thank you for all of the constructive comments you've given on my portfolio. Everytime I look at comments made on one of my shots, your name comes up. Thanks again for the input. I might just figure this photography thing out after all.
Ok I give in. Its a normal tomato! (not cherry!) So kudos to SJ! :D
This tomato vine has over 10,000 fruit and will grow to have 20,000. It's located in Epcot, Disney, FL, in their research greenhouse, where they are using cool new methods to grow herbs, fruit n veg.
AHA! So my first impulse was right and you misled me! LOL I only guessed that because I happened to plant 2 cherry tomato plants this spring and they grew to be over 15' long (it would have been high if I'd had the foresight to accommodate them!). They're still producing (as are my other tomato plants) and I actually plan to create arbors for ALL of my tomato plants next year. I might even do the same for my squash (which produced leaves the size of elephant ear plants and grew to a thickness that can only be compared to Jack & the Beanstalk!).
Thanks for the challenge and glad I was at least close to right! :-)
Thanks PollyBean, but I unfortunately still fell short of Idowse's challenge. Don't get me wrong - I'm very satisfied (and very relieved) that I happened to be the one to come closest to your challenge - but I wish I could have been more savvy about the Idowse's conundrum. :-) Oh well, I'll take what I can get - and that ain't bad!

In that I didn't know what I was looking at in your image! :-) I knew it was something scientific, but I couldn't place it! LOL It's cool though - I've learned several things today and that makes any day good. =D
Actually I didn't expect anyone to really know what that was right off. Not too many people take pictures of the back of someone's eyes... I was actually trying to see if there were any other lowly retinal photographers out there. It was interesting to hear some of the responses too....
