PF PHOTO CONTEST - Orange (11/3-11/9)

In summary: Dutch do know how to party. I was there with Queen's Night, but I'm sure the day itself is great.Zz.In summary, the conversation was about the theme of "Orange" for a photo contest. Participants were reminded of the rules, including resizing and cropping photos, only one submission per person, and using their own original photos. Several photos were shared, including an orange vase, a rose, hunting gear, habaneros, q-tips, and Queen's Day celebrations in the Netherlands. The contest deadline was also mentioned.

I think it's a "screen shot." Does that count as a photograph?

That's what I thought as well. No, a screen shot does not count.

Marinela, I fixed your tags so your picture shows up here...always use the "direct link" to the image to enclose in the tags.

Grrrr... I am not sure what is up with the comcast webpages, in the past it worked flawlessly, now it appears that you have to request it to show the pic. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. :mad:

Well, I'll keep checking in. I have converted to Photobucket. It seems to be the most reliable image host.

when I right clicked then 'show picture' it didn't come it----but
when I 'right click' on the red 'x'--go to properties--get the address on the properties--paste it into the address bar---it comes in fine, and then it also shows up in your post----funny link??

-----------------

size isn't the problem, is it? --at 219kb?

Yeah I didn't see it initially, even when clicking on show picture. Then I could see it after I did a quote to see what the link was. I could see it when I place the url in a separate window, like rewebster did.

Yeah - I was really impressed with the colors. I arrived at just the right time of day and just happened to catch the sun at the right angle, and the blue sky is quite a contrast.

Thank Mother Nature! I was just there to collect some of those orange photons. :biggrin:

I'll try to get some more images tomorrow if I remember by digital camera. But the weather is supposedly going to get worse as the week progresses. We are supposed to get rain tonight and tomorrow, but the afternoon might be partly clear - but 32°F (0°C).

OK. I don't get to play the baby angle very often. I'm cashing in now.

Here's the little man picking out his first pumpkin:

Astro...you got to my idea first. I was going to take a picture of the leaves on my Acer Palmatum in my front yard. They are a very bright orange right now. Nice pic!

Yeah, I have heard of that, guess it is time for this old dog to learn some new tricks.

I love it. "Mine. All Mine!"

Oh my gawd! 39 cents a pound? This must be very late in the season.

He's got way more charm than I ever had. He gets it from his Mom.

Or it's at an orchard that knows how to take advantage of the local yuppie population. The picture was in the beginning of October. I'm not sure of the lateness of that. I guess under the circumstances I don't mind paying to help support local growers. They had a nice spread.

I was trying to get him to do the Mr. Burns "eeeeexcelllllent" pose, but he just wasn't cooperating.

Oh, I thought he was doing that very well. He sort of has the evil genius look, "Today the pumpkin patch, tomorrow the WORLD!" *evil genius laugh*

I approved the attachment for now, but take a look at the instructions of how to post it using image tags so Zz will be able to post the link in the voting thread too.

Take note that unless you can post the picture here not as an attachment, I cannot use it for the contest.

What are you talking about. That is CHEAP! One of our local orchards was getting over $1 a pound! We thought we got a late-season bargain at 60 cents!

Oh. By your post I thought you meant that that price was expensive. I really don't know what a pumpkin should be going for these days.

I like that. I have to work on him to get him to do the BWAHAHAHA evil laugh. Either that or some Dr. Evil lines...I'm not quite sure yet.

I haven't yet figured out where they put the laser beam and disintegration ray yet, but I'm sure it's got one. I don't use it for games or shopping on line.
You may not know about the laser beam and the disintegration ray, but you sure found the "impressionist" imaging button.
