Description

Winner
I took these in the Bloch Addition of the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum in Kansas City in June. The sepia tones are natural. I just loved this space and the photography exhibit shown here was wonderful.
Submitted in People in June, no EP; re-submitted in Catch-All in July, Finalist. I am submitting this new upload in the October Monthly Theme. I've never done this before. I'm mighty proud of that finalist badge and don't want to risk losing it :) but I can't help thinking this is a perfect fit for the Exhibits MT.

Exif: F Number: 0, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 0/1000000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 0,0, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 0.00 mm,

Nikki I do not think you'll loose the badge... I believe this is exceptional and does deserve a golden badge! #1014751

Marisol Pastor October 12, 2008

I'm sure you will get a gold on this one. I think this is an outstanding shot. #6586602

Dominick M. Dimacale October 12, 2008

One lovely image to be considered for Gold, Nikki.

Nikki McDonald October 12, 2008

Thanks for the words of encouragement, Stef, Marisol, and Dominick. I'm not actually "risking" losing it -- the upload with the finalist badge is still in my gallery though I did take it off display temporarily. That's why I have the new upload here :) I was confused as to what would happen if the old one got an EP on top of the finalist. I thought it might "hide" the finalist and then if it went no further, the shot might only have an EP. I wrote BP about it and the person who replied said that to be sure, I should submit a new upload so I did. #6587191

MELODIE C. ROBERTS October 12, 2008

I am in agreement
Needs to get the gold
As you know Nik this is a favorite of mine ;0)
Perfect entry for monthly theme
Good Luck! #6587219

Max Aureli October 12, 2008

Fantastic!!!
My best for this one MT!! #6587221

Ken Smith October 12, 2008

When I was travelling, one of my BP friends accidently resubmitted one of my finalists...and it made finalist again... :-). But, no EP button appeared...once a finalist, always a finalsts...unless it gets gold. Good luck on this one, Nikki! #6587334

Nikki McDonald October 12, 2008

Thanks for this information, Ken. I thought someone else had told me that he had re-submitted a finalist and no EP button ever appeared even though it went gold the second time, but I wasn't sure. Glad to know their software is set up so that finalist trumps EP and gold trumps finalist. That's only logical. I never thought I'd even consider doing this but I could not pass up this MT :) #6587376

Jean B. Hall October 12, 2008
