April Countdown Thread

Welcome to the April Countdown Thread

Glad you could join us here!
Help me try to revitalized this fun thread. I have recently had some health problems and I have let this slide but all is good now!!! Join in the fun and spread the word to your friends here in BP.

There are so many fabulous photo posted on BP. So many very inspiring works of time and talent. I like this thread because its purpose is for each of us to show case your individual photo that you believe is your best or that you feel is most representative of your inner self. So... let's see your personal best!
*If you are a regular here you know what to do.
**If you are new to this thread, take some time to read our helpful hints below and join in the fun.
*** If you found yourself here because you are lost.... Hmmm.., Don't worry, this is not the Hotel California, you can escape!
Some helpful hints for attaching photos into a BP Forum Thread, if you're unfamiliar with the process:
1) Sign into BP. IF YOU HAVEN'T entered the Contest for today, you can use the "Photo ID" method to pull an existing image (from your Member Center) into your reply here.
a. Jot down the PhotoID # of the photo you wish to share. To determine your PhotoID, go to the little Pancakes icon, then click “My Photos”, then “Manage/Enter.” The PhotoID is right below the number.
b. Go to the Countdown Contest thread. Click “Respond” at the bottom of the page.
c. Type in whatever you wish; e.g., “Here’s my Fav image for the month.”
d. Click the “Select” button below the text input box, and select “1.” Toggle on “Notify” box if you wish to be notified. Click “Submit.”
e. The Image Uploader appears. On the right-hand side, you’ll see an input box for the PhotoID (from step 1a). Type it in then click “submit your photo.” Then, return to the forum thread and you’ll see your photo.
2) IF YOU HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest for today, you can't use the Photo ID method *today*. Either wait until tomorrow to reply here first, or upload a copy of the image (from your PC) and attach to this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery.
3) If you're uploading a duplicate, I suggest titling it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later on. This can also help nudge BP viewers to go find the original image in your gallery, if they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, first try to tell if it is a duplicate upload. As a courtesy, try to find the original image in the member's gallery and leave your comment there instead of on the duplicate... which may one day be deleted.

I will start us off with some photos that I like a lot.
I am doing a daily meditation for our church while we are on covid-19 shut-down. While looking for photos for my meditation I came across this photo that I had worked up years ago but don't believe hat I had ever entered it into the contest. "Closing in on Cathedral Rock"

	Dreaming of Springtime Composite of two images, robin with branches and a second of just spring blossoms that I blurred a lot before using in the background. Lightly painted using Topaz Impressions presets (varying opacities and blend modes). Finished with a very light woven or linen look texture blended in.

Two terrific photos Nikki. We have to see gold come your way. Really like the simplicity of design on the stair way. You know I like photos like this. AND IT WOULD LOOK SO GOOD AS A BLACK AND WHITE! And with the birdie you are certainly showing your command of post processing.
