Graham aside from the sharpness and composition, the lighting is superb. Can you elaborate on how you lit it ?

I am wondering where he took the picture as I have only ever seen banana plants flowering in the tropics or places like Kew greenhouses.

Whilst they could recognise a winning image interns of aesthetics, appeal and execution, their knowledge of the necessary specialist techniques outside their own specialism may have passed them by.

This was a normal shot 2 days earlier. We were in a villa about 80 miles south of Bergerac France Sept 2017 in a remote farming area this was the clump of Bananas first pix. I had time on hand and my laptop with me so wanted to do stacking tests. No lighting so needed a roll of tin foil (from local shop) to reflect some back hard light into subject also a white swimming towel put some nice soft light into the front. It took a bit of cleaning up dead bits slight change of angle after several goes back to laptop then out again to set-up bit like working in the studio. Nice day no wind. White bal gave problems so did one off the white towel and stored it into presets. ISO 200 1/125 sec F11 100mm lens stack of 10 big advantace is when stack is loaded into Photoshop CC the 10 layers can be worked on as single shots to cure problems. Final image then is high quality TIFF then can have final levels etc. The 3 ladies with me said I was a sad person!!!!

Long time since I grew bananas in my Rhodesian garden 1970+- I think JK is right they need tropic conditions so I looked it up on internet and they flower in  early Spring and fruit in later summer. So this banana in the villa garden in France would be out of luck flowering so late in the year ie Sept. The fields of sunflowers all round us were well dead and ready for harvesting. So I should think this flower had no chance of producing fruit as Autum and Winter were on the way. However I had never done stacking before and it helped me learn to do it, well done Nikon!
