February 2013 Countdown Thread Happy Spring (up here in the Northern America at least)! The weather here in Texas is crazy - can't decide whether to be warm or cold. So, it seems as if there are some changes afoot at BP. EPs seem a bit more stringent and some category changes with Catch-all. Interesting stuff. I'm looking forward to everyone's choices this month and wishing us all good luck! Helpful hints for attaching photos into Forum Threads: Good luck everyone!!!

This is a macro from my agave plant in my front yard. I have shot it many times, but never got any shots I really liked until this one. Good luck to all in the contest!

I'm with you guys..I think I got one right once a long time ago. Usually never..of course, that could be because I mostly pick an emotional favorite of mine instead of something I think might have a chance. Not this time, though.

Ok guys, I'm such a dork - the photo I listed as my pick for going on in the FEBRUARY contest - probably doesn't even have a chance, since I entered it in MARCH! I'm so scattered this month! I'll try to pick a FEBRUARY favorite tomorrow!

Mine run from "Frosty Fence" to "Juvenile Bald Eagle" if you want to take a look. "Wingspan" is probably my favorite for the month.

Amazing photos, you guys! Jeff, my faves of yours are Intimidating for the drama, and Hiding for the quiet beauty. Susan, my fave of yours is Ford, for the beautiful vibrant color and graphic elements. Best of luck to all!

So, since today is the 20th, I'm starting to keep an eye out for finalists ... Any stats for us Chris? :)

Sure, Peggy! Let's see... Mondays still remain the most popular day by a long shot, as the 21st remains the most popular date... so that at least makes tantalizing prospect. However, Monday the 25th even more statistically potent; the most common day, with the 3rd-most-common date. Sunday the 24th would be a good pairing, statistically... so, as usual... who knows! FYI, on the contest results:

What happened to the March EP discussion? Was it deleted?

|
chrisbudny.com - Chris Budny Contact Chris Budny Chris Budny's Gallery |
No, it wasn't deleted… It's simply no longer shows up in the "all new questions" section… You can still find it by searching for March 2013 or scrolling through some of the forum areas to find where it's buried now.

Are we going to review others' images and post our favorites? I enjoy doing this - so if interested, please let us know where your February images start and end. Mine are obvious by the "bookends". I think we got caught up in the EP thread, and let our monthly review of images fall by the wayside. :)

Pat's link did not work (too many redirects). However, I took the five-digit number from hers and changed the url string from last month. Using the number 1, the new string took me to Nature and Landscapes (1st category.) Honestly, it should be this difficult if you're not getting a Finalist in any given month! http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGall2.php?catID=55897&contestCatID=1

Congratulations to all the Finalists and Wow to everyone who set new records! Very exciting! My record's been broken as well. None for me, which ends my winning streak from June 2012 :/ I may not have time to comment on finalists/winners. The studio where I work is positively slammed between now and easter! So I will just say that I am truly excited that each of you got the recognition that your wonderful images deserve! :)

If you submitted a contest entry anytime during the day that field will disappear. So post your contest entries at the end of the day.
