Hello again, fellow BP Contest Enthusiasts! The 15th has rolled around once again, so we can huddle together to await the verdict of The Judges!
Dust off the hambone chant, the cocktail shakers, and of course, the variety of chocolate that we rely upon... whatever it takes to get through the waiting, wondering and wishing, until the September Finalists & Winners are published later this month! All are welcome here!

Please share with us that one photo you feel is your best chance to capture a Contest Medal this time. Or, perhaps, that one special image you really WISH would bring home the silver or gold, even if you feel it won't. And, it doesn't matter if the photo you choose share here has an EP medallion or not...
One gentle reminder: Please refrain from posting half a dozen of your past entries; ideally, this thread is about sharing that one, really special, excellent, meaningful, or otherwise favorite hopeful image of yours! Best of luck, to all Contestants!

----------
Helpful notes, re: responding to Forum Threads and attaching photos:

1) Sign into BP completely (name + password.)

2) If you have NOT YET entered an image into the Contest today, you can use the "Photo ID" to pull a pre-existing image from your Member Center into this thread (avoiding a duplicate image upload.) Obtain the particular Photo ID# from your Member Center. Come to this thread, click Respond, enter the text of your reply, then choose "1" from the images-to-attach drop-down. Click Submit, and on the next screen populate the "Photo ID" box at the far right. No need to fill in any of the other fields on that screen.

3) If you HAVE ALREADY made a Contest entry today, before joining this thread, you can't use the Photo ID method, today. You can either wait until tomorrow to reply here (before your new Contest entry!) or, upload a new copy of the particular image (from your PC) to include in this thread now. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery.

4) If you're uploading a duplicate in Step 3, you may wish to title it as "Sept Fav for Forum" so that it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later on... Adding "Original displayed in my Gallery" to the text description of the duplicate can help direct viewers who want to comment on your image, to seek the original image in your gallery instead.

5) Likewise, if you see a photo in this thread and want to comment on it, try to tell if it is a duplicate upload first. (Are there any older-dated comments already on it? Does it say "Original displayed in my Gallery"?) As a courtesy, try to find the original image in that person's gallery, and leave your comment there instead of on the duplicate here---that way, if they delete the duplicate a month from now, they don't wipe out any comment history that should really belong with the original entry.

6) Finally, make a record of all your current-month Contest Entries, at each month-end! On the last night of the month, BP resets the "Current Entries" page in your Member Center, to make way for your entries in the new month. Keeping a record of monthly entries makes it easier to determine your favorite image later, when we start this thread next month!

  Glad it's mid month and back to being able to eat chocolate and drink alchol with an excuse!

I had almost an entire month of resubmits, and due to the fact that I was at the BP Summit at the end of the month, I wasn't able to capture which shots I had uploaded last month, so no post for me in this thread.

Best of luck to everyone!

I had a couple favs but will post the one that I am most hoping will win a finalist. This was taken after a day of rain. I figured there wouldn't be a sunset because of the cloud cover, but the sun did make a quick appearance.
