October 2011 Finalist/Winner Countdown Thread
Oh my, oh my, almost time (in the states at least) for pumpkin pie! I am having a hard time believing it's holiday time already. Before we know it, we're going to be celebrating 2012. Of course, here in Texas, it's hard to feel very holiday-ish when it is still 84 degrees. Crazy weather!So, while we wait for the judges to make their choices, pick your favorites and see what others choose too. Grab some of that Halloween chocolate and your favorite thing to drink. Good luck everyone!!!
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!!!

Chris and Kara, I can't wait to see your choices. And someone really should hide this Halloween candy from me quickly!

Okay, so I have not even been close with my favorites the last couple of months...let's see how I do this time. This one just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Yes, I am sappy, and yes, I wish I could make my babies smaller again!!

Cherry Compote II
I couldn't resist a complete re-shoot of this setup; while I loved the first version, I didn't use a light tent, and wasn't keen on the reflected highlights.
So the reshoot is in the tent, daytime (vs. night) for more natural light, and a square crop vs. a 5x7. I like this one better already!
10/2011 EOD 2nd Place
The glass cherry rests in a chalice of turned ebony and tagua nut (aka vegetable ivory.) The chalice stands 1-3/4" tall. I've had a set of 5
of the cherries forever, and just picked up the chalice at a small-town festival in MA last weekend, made by a wonderful wood turner,
William Cudnohufsky, who specializes in tagua nut. I put the two together once home, and instantly thought I needed to try a photograph.
I used black foamboard at the back, and a big sheet of white paper, letting one edge curl up onto the foamboard,
and then carefully repositioned things until the b/w "seam" bisected the chalice where I wanted it to.

This is always such a hard thing, to pick a single fav! ;) I assume we all love the entries we make (else, why enter them?) So, I always seem to have a top two or three when the time comes to post here, rather than just one! But, I guess this one is a teensy bit ahead of the others, so I'll go with it.
