[2naSalit]

2. Oh my!

You're right, any one of many entries could have won, there were so many good ones to chose from.

Thanks for the votes everyone!

6. Fireweed

I have many pictures of Fireweed but never knew what it looked like after it went to seed.

Great picture and congratulations on the win.

[2naSalit]

9. Thanks.

I have lots of pictures of both. This was one of my early macros with my first digital camera: Cannon PowerShot 120 SX... or close to that. I was out taking fall pictures and learning how to make the camera take the pictures I wanted.

This was taken about 3mi west of the YNP boundary on the Idaho side of the divide in mid October several years ago.

[edhopper]

8. Thanks to all who voted for my photo

I am honored by getting second place. 2naSalit is a worthy winner.

The nice thing about second place is shows my photo was a big favorite, but I don't have the pressure of coming up with a new contest theme.

[2naSalit]

11. Ha!

There were a lot of great entries, congrats on your placement!

But, it's the Fall contest so I think I don't have to come up with a theme, do I?



I'm prepared to come up with one but I think the winner of the last monthly contest has that honor... I could be mistaken. I just started participating again after a long hiatus.

[edhopper]

12. You may be right

if that is the case, screw you for taking my win with a better photo!

[2naSalit]

Congratulations 2naSalit and edhopper! It's an honor and a pleasure to compete with so many fantastic photographers!


Thanks, urbanhermit, for hosting!

[Grumpy Old Guy]

31. Demeter's Harvest is a great shot!

It was definitely one of my favorites. I thought it really carried the theme.

[Mousetoescamper]

35. Thanks, Grumpy Old Guy! Your waterfall shot was great as well!

I won only by a nose. I think we had a four-way tie for third toward the end.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

36. I think you are correct.

There was a very close competition for third place. They were all great shots.

The funny thing is, out of all the thousands of images that I've taken, this is probably my one and only Autumn shot. I live in L.A., and we just don't get Autumn here. LOL! I've decided that I have to drive up into the mountains next year to catch some fall colors.

[Hope22]

[HappyCynic]

27. Congrats, 2naSalit!

Congrats to 2naSalit for a well deserved first place!

Also congrats to edhopper and Mousetoescamper for equally stunning entries!

And thank you, urbanhermit, for all the work you've done to host the contest!

28. I wonder how much credit goes to the ability to capture colors much more richlly.

Whether the digital sensors are just plain better than the old film camera, or the multi-color/sensitivity filters used by HDR.

These three are incredible. Demeter's Harvest is just an extravagant panoply of gorgeous objects, hues, everything.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

33. It's difficult to say.

Back in the old days we used great films like Kodachrome, Ektachrome, Kodacolor, Fujichrome, Agfa. etc. I remember them all having great saturation, much better than what we often see on the LCD screens of our digital cameras. However, the look and feel of those old films are easily duplicated now either in the camera or with a minimum of post processing for those who know how to do it. I didn't really enjoy digital photography that much until I learned how to fix what I was getting out of my cameras.

Just my humble opinion.

[crickets]

29. Congrats to all!

Thanks to every photographer. The photos were absolutely stunning this round.

[Butterflylady]

30. Congrats to all.

I can't believe I finally picked the winner, but they were all spectacular this time around.

[Grumpy Old Guy]
