April 2011 Countdown Thread


First of all, a thank you to Usman for reminding me how late in May we'd already gotten. This is a crazy time of year for my household with Mother's Day, spring activities and portrait sessions. I hope it's an exciting time of year for all of you too!

I'm stunned to realize we are nearly midway through May and that means summer is almost here in the Northern Hemisphere! If you are like me and live in the South, it's already feeling like summer! It's HOT!

So, grab a cool cocktail and your favorite cocktail - sit back and relax and share your hopeful from April with us while we all wait for the judges to let us know what they think. Fingers crossed!!!

Helpful hints for attaching photos into Forum Threads:
1) Sign into BP completely (name + password.)
2) If you have NOT YET entered the Contest today, you can use the "Photo ID" to pull an existing image from your Member Center into your reply to this thread (avoiding a duplicate image upload.) Get the Photo ID# from your Member Center, come to back this thread, click Respond, enter the text of your reply, then choose "1" from the images-to-attach drop-down. Click Submit; at the next screen populate the "Photo ID" box at the right. Skip the other fields on that screen.
3) If you HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest today before replying to this thread, you can't use the Photo ID method today. You can either wait until tomorrow to reply here (before your new Contest entry!) or, upload a new copy of the particular image (from your PC) into this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery.
4) If you're uploading a duplicate, maybe title it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later... This can help direct viewers to find the original image in your gallery, when they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, try to tell if it is a duplicate upload. As a courtesy, try to find the original image in the member's gallery and leave your comment there instead of on the duplicate---that way, if the duplicate is deleted later, the comment history isn't lost.

Good luck everyone!!!

Michelle L. Frick 		  Whoops - guess I told you all to two fist those drinks - it's five o'clock somewhere! How about a cool cocktail and your favorite sweet treat instead! Let's pace ourselves in case the judges make us wait like last month! ;-)!

My first attempt at applying the Orton technique to an image. Hope you all like it!
