The Final round of October contest is up

[CC]

in the lounge. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4202753

Go vote, comment and keep kicked. A big round of applause to all the brave souls that answered the challenge with so much skill and creativity.

1. Thanks for doing this CC

:yourock:

It looks like DU might be at Defcon 3 pretty soon. Hopefully not... for you. No polls at 3, right?

Thanks for the kudos...I just push and click buttons. It's everyone who participates here that deserves the real accolades. Lounge Lizards are probably wondering... "who the hell is F.Gordon".
:rofl:

Can't believe my OOF climber with the badly exposed shot made it in the finals. After the contest is over I "might" post the snap I wanted to enter. Ms F gave it the thumbs down. My entry was taken with a wide angle after I changed lenses and was leaving.... but I have a closeup of that climber I took with the long thingee. It probably would have given me an unfair advantage in the contest with all the sex-starved Lounge Lizards. Climber was quite a beautiful woman.

4. The lounge is probably also

wondering who the hell CC is...and why is that stranger posting the contest. I just never went in there cept to vote and used the link here to find the threads there.

Thought about the level 3 coming along therefore put no end date on the thread. Will see how it goes day to day if we end up at level 3 or whichever takes down polls. Will be well worth it if there are lots in indictments. Would be a very merry Fitzmas then. "Treason is the reason for the season."-Botany

It does take time to "push" buttons, and organize. You deserve some kudos. Hoping that by adding links more people visit too. We have some very talented people here.

Can't wait to see the close up of your climber. Though will suggest you only lock yourself into dark basements with candles when you feel like being there. And you set up a landscape just like you would a still life only you move yourself instead of the objects and wait for the light instead of adjusting the light.

2. Go nominate the thread for the Greatest Page.

There are a lot of people who'd love to see the photographs who never set foot in the Lounge. :)

[F.Gordon]

3. Did that.

5. Seven recommends for the greatest page

and yet it's not on there. :( I think when the Admins took the Lounge off the Latest Page, they also unlinked it to the Greatest Page. I can understand that since some very silly things were making it onto the Greatest Page, but I also thinkthat if 1000 Fitmas carols can go on the Greatest Page, so can the Photo Contest.

It's a wash for this contest (past the 24 hours a post would show up there), but I'll bet (talking as a run-of-the-mill member, not a moderator because I really don't have any special power as a temp volunteer) we could petition the Admins next month to allow it to show up on the Greatest Page.

I'll email the Admins and get back to everyone if this is possible.

6. They're heading for home...

...and it looks ever so much like, following the lead of the Red Sox and White Sox, it's now Blue_in_AK's turn to finally grab the brass ring! ;-)

[F.Gordon]

7. Wow! It does

it's now Blue_in_AK's turn to finally grab the brass ring!

And I feel a little guilty for entering that climber thing. Any one of the other 10 deserved to be in the final 10 over that one. Sorry folks.

Who talked me into entering that?
:evilgrin:

8. So does that mean that everyone that

voted for yours was wrong? Careful you have to be careful after people have voted. You might insult some of them. :rofl:

All the pics were great, including yours. Some may not have got it with some of the pics and the theme but everyone brave enough to enter after the Aug led into Sep. contest that saw what Raging went through deserve a medal for bravery.

9. Last call

plan on closing the polls at 7 pm.
