FEB. EPs, SFs, Finalists


Believe it or not, tomorrow is Feb. 1, so let's get ready to discuss the Feb. Contest. (Yes, I know this is a touch early, but better early than late.) Good Luck!!!

  Speaking of Love.....whatever I love BP doesn't love and the ones I don't really love, BP gives a EP or finalist. Good luck everyone!

  We've hit Valentine's Day and only have about 3 days of Feb done. It might be all we see until late in the month.

  So they might be up to the fifth. Usually by this time of the month, they are up to the 10th or 12th. Guess they must be concentrating on the Jan contest right now.

  Don't see any activity on the Feb judging front. So still holding at up to Feb 5 entries. (We don't know if those are complete or just partial.)

  Usman, you're in good company, then. :-) But hopefully soon those non-EPs will transition to EPs, perhaps after BP finishes up with the January contest.

I shot a string of lights in a darkened room, using a DIY heart-shaped bokeh filter. The lights are reflected on the polished floor below.
No post processing effects, I only adjusted the black level.

I'm hoping they're not done and/or for a second round ... as it stands now, February was pretty dismal for me ... three out of eleven. But it's all good ... still fun anyway. :)

  I didn't have any entries in February so I can relax and wait to congratulate the rest of you.

It was nice of Jim to post a link for a list of past Monthly Themes. When I see a Monthly Theme winner or Finalist I've often wanted to know what the theme was for that contest.

  The Staff Favs are out. Congrats to all who got them. We are waiting on Finalists and Winners, but that can't be long. Now is an "action time" at BP. Feb contest is closing out and many are "in the hunt" for finalists and winners AND Mar judging is resuming in earnest to close out.
