March Countdown Thread

March right in and share one or two of your favorite photos from last month. There are so many fabulous photo posted on BP. So many very inspiring works of time and talent. I like this thread because its purpose is for each of us to show case your individual photo that you believe is your best or that you feel is most representative of your inner self. So... let's see your personal best!
*If you are a regular here you know what to do.
**If you are new to this thread, take some time to read our helpful hints below and join in the fun.
*** If you found yourself here because you are lost.... Hmmm.., Don't worry, this is not the Hotel California, you can escape!
Some helpful hints for attaching photos into a BP Forum Thread, if you're unfamiliar with the process:
1) Sign into BP. IF YOU HAVEN'T entered the Contest for today, you can use the "Photo ID" method to pull an existing image (from your Member Center) into your reply here.
a. Jot down the PhotoID # of the photo you wish to share. To determine your PhotoID, go to the little Pancakes icon, then click “My Photos”, then “Manage/Enter.” The PhotoID is right below the number.
b. Go to the Countdown Contest thread. Click “Respond” at the bottom of the page.
c. Type in whatever you wish; e.g., “Here’s my Fav image for the month.”
d. Click the “Select” button below the text input box, and select “1.” Toggle on “Notify” box if you wish to be notified. Click “Submit.”
e. The Image Uploader appears. On the right-hand side, you’ll see an input box for the PhotoID (from step 1a). Type it in then click “submit your photo.” Then, return to the forum thread and you’ll see your photo.
2) IF YOU HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest for today, you can't use the Photo ID method *today*. Either wait until tomorrow to reply here first, or upload a copy of the image (from your PC) and attach to this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery.
3) If you're uploading a duplicate, I suggest titling it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later on. This can also help nudge BP viewers to go find the original image in your gallery, if they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, first 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... which may one day be deleted.

	Poise One of the "swan sisters" striking a pose in the ballroom, exuding confidence as the masks and costumes of Carnevale give the wearer power and courage; you just never know who is behind the mask! The muted, faded colors of the ballroom wall, with her gleaming white dress, seemed to call for a strong-contrast b/w. Chris Budny
	Nave 360 A multi-row, stitched panorama 360-degree view of the cathedral's nave, which I've wanted to try and make for quite a long time. Last month I finally broke down and got the rest of the tripod gear needed to facilitate this kind of photography. The wrap-around scene encompasses everything from the West Rose Window (shown bisected by the left and right edges of the image) to the High Altar more than 400 feet opposite (found in the center of the image.) The full size stitched image is just over 8,000 x 12,000 pixels; the small display-size limit here doesn't do it justice! Chris Budny

	Snow Day I took this just down the street on a sunny but very cold winter day. Though I took several shots of this boy playing on piles of snow while his dad shoveled. Resubmitted for March 9, 2017 Category: People Nikki McDonald

Here are a couple of mine, one resub and one new upload.

As to your other question - basically, what are we "supposed" to do here - I think that's really up to you. We usually share one or two images. I often pick one new upload and one resubmission that I like for whatever reason. When I really like one that doesn't get an EP, I may just share that - even though I already know it won't go on. Sometimes I do try to read the judges' minds and pick those I think are most likely to get awards. Other times I may share one I just KNOW will not, even though it has an EP, simply because I think it's not "BP style" - that's when I'm most likely to be completely surprised, btw, since just when I think I have this place "figured out", Jim surprises me LOL
