October 2012 Countdown Thread It's almost the middle of the month again. It's almost Thanksgiving here in the states. My kids are home all next week. I figured I should post this thread now, just in case the judges want to surprise us with early results so that they can focus on their holidays too. Of course, they might also decide to make us wait. The good news is, we should all have plenty to snack on while we wait! Happy (almost) Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate the holiday! Helpful hints for attaching photos into Forum Threads: Good luck everyone!!!

Chris, my super hard comes into play when it's between deciding my favorite vs. what I think the judges might pick. It's hard to detach myself and be objective. I enjoyed last month where everyone made their picks for exactly that reason. If BP doesn't pick an image that you guys did I give more thought to resubbing it. My entries run from Center Stage on Pg 1 (right after Finalists) to The Applicant on Pg 2. I am looking forward to browsing everyone's entries. Last month I finally got 2 Finalists in one month. Do I dare dream of a 1st place? someday...lol... Good luck everyone!

A few more gallery picks-- Leslie, so many great bird images! I'll go with Breakfast for its wonderful drama, detail, lines and reflections. (There's something about the position of the frog in this version that adds to the drama, for me.) And congrats on your terrific POTD! Usman, I'm glad to see you're resubmitting some of my previous faves! To pick something new I'll go with sEaTs ApLeNtY - 2. Love the balanced design, warm tones and perfectly balanced layout.

Thanks Carolyn for the guidance. However, it does not have a button for inserting the Photo ID instead it asks me to upload the image again and that's what I would like to avoid. Is there any other way? Carolyn - "Fish Oklahoma" is my choice from among your other beautiful captures. It is mesmerizing and I wish I lived nearer to this place. Susan - I had a hard time choosing between your "Fall Days" and "Center Stage', but finally decided on center stage, such a lovely floral capture. Martha - I think you have a winner in "Intensity" such wonderful B&W composition and the expression is fab too. Leslie - Wow, all your bird shots are terrific. I am going with "Dance of a Sandhill Cranes". This looks like a Winner too, good luck! Kara - You already know that I love the "Adoring Autumn" and will not give up on it EVER. Chris - I love love love your Icelandic image "Búðir & Snæfellsjökull". The setting, light, colors and comp go very well together and I wouldn't be surprised to see this among the Winners, good luck!

Yeah, T-day is the big question... Wednesday remains tied as 2nd-most-common day of the week to release Finalists, so they would have historical trending on their side if they get them out by Wednesday night... Additionally, that would be the 21st, which is the single most common date each month, historically, to release finalists... So, will the stars align this week?? :) If they don't, my guess would be Sunday or Monday. For kicks, the past October's Finalists have been released in Nov as follows:

I'd like to know how to put thumbnail links to two previously uploaded images in this thread too. Chris did it. A problem with putting in a new upload is well explained by Michelle in point #4 of her thread introduction. Also, I love seeing the badges on those that go on and we will not see them on the new uploads.

Don't USE the previously uploaded images. Use a fresh copy of each and after you put in your response, click select below and put 2 in the box. It's not a problem if you use new copies.

I don't do "new" uploads... the technique I used is a trick in BP's curious upload process, when you want to use pre-existing images. Do everything you normally do to reply here with 1 image by Photo ID... (ie, before your daily contest entry is made.)
|
|||||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||||||
|
chrisbudny.com - Chris Budny Contact Chris Budny Chris Budny's Gallery |
Carolyn, your method works, to get multiple images into a thread---but it negates ever getting to see the Finalist/Winner badges on those particular images here in this thread---because they aren't your original upload; they're new duplicates. (It also clutters your Member Center - even if you choose not to Display your duplicates. And, if someone clicks your duplicate to comment on it, that comment is not attached to your "original" image where everyone else has already commented in the past.) It is a great method, for demonstration purposes or Before-And-After uploads, but I find it is a less-than-satisfactory method for THIS particular monthly thread---where you want to show your actual entry, let people comment on that image (if they choose) and later, see if it got medals, displayed in this thread ;)

Thought for sure I posted my favorite here but I sure don't see it now. Got a Finalist on it, though as well as a second on another that I felt was a top contender. So I'm a very happy camper. Congratulations to everyone on their finalist(s) - hoped for or completely unexpected. You may even grow to love those that surprised you the most; I know that's been true with me in the past.

I do see your Finalist above, and actually the only right pick this month on this thread, Nikki! UB.

Congratulations to all the fabulous winners!! (Did anyone else notice that the first place winner in Digital Darkroom -- which is fantastic, by the way! -- is also shown as a second place winner in the same category?)

I noticed that Peggy! Wondered if that mistake bumped someone else from a 2nd place?

That is weird. The image itself shows second. Is first missing?

Susan, that's what I thought, that someone got bumped from second. But Martha, I didn't notice that the image itself has a second place "badge" on it. Strange. Hopefully BP will notice and correct it (whatever that correction may be). I do love that photo, though!

CONGRATZ to all who struck Gold, I was lucky to be among their company this month. Thats strange, Peggy. It definitely looks like an unintentional error. I am sure BP will fix it soon. So all of you Finalists in the Digital Darkroom category, keep your hopes up, you may still get a First or Second place gold. Usman.

I didn't know it had a 2nd place badge either. I'm sure someone let them know so they can put the correct 1st place winner up there! I also think Tammy's pic is awesome! None of mine were DD but I'm hopeful that someday one of mine will snag a 1st place :)

Oct. Contest Update!! Hi Everyone, As many of you noticed, there was a tech snag, in which a First Place winnere somehow appeared among the 2nd Place winners too. Our apologies - and it's now been corrected with Laura Swan's Falling Apart receiving a well-deserved gold. Thanks,
