My last entry for November was "Waiting for Monday Morning", and work backwards to "Reflections on Vietnam". Jeff, it looks like we were both in DC in November. :) Or maybe you live there. It was my first visit.

Sorry, start at Black and White Bean and work backwards to Pentagon Memorial. Pat - I don't live in DC, I was there in August with some fellow BPers and was just back a couple of weeks ago for work. I can't wait to go back again.

My guess is that finalists come out on Dec 21 with gold announced the following week. It would be too much to think we would all get early Christmas gifts! Chris - what do your statistics say for December?

Mine go from "Awash In Color" on page 3 to "Twisties" on page 6. I'll come back and pick a fave in a while. They are all sunsets, so it's hard to pick.

I had hoped to get my picks in for everyone b4 heading to Florida for the holiday but didn't make it. I have limited internet access here. Thanks to everyone who made a pick from my gallery :) I keep my fingers crossed for everyone to see their work recognized with a medal! Reading the holiday wishes above really warmed my heart which is good because it's freezing here in Florida! So until it warms up I'll be pressing that shutter with a cold blue finger haha! I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday and good times with friends and family. Wishing you all the best!

Since then I am happy that our paths have continued to cross. Your warmth and graciousness are amazing and your thoughts and comments always touch me. Thank you. Happy Holidays.

Thank you Marcie for the kind words. BP is such a wonderful online community of photogs who love photography and its not uncommon to receive appreciative feedback/comments on our work, I try to give it back on the images that inspire me, and so many of them do. Many BPers have and continue to touch me too with their warmth and caring thoughts, and I agree with you, its a nice feeling!!! Now if only, BP showers the Finalists today and winners just before Christmas, it would be icing on the cake ;) UB.

I hope everyone (including BP Staff) enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Day today... Just some contest trivia, as you munch on left-overs this week, play with new toys and gadgets, or take a break from family, all while awaiting Finalists... Back in 2006, the November Finalists came out on one of the 5 latest release dates thus far -- 12/29. But then for 2007 - 2011, the November Finalists arrived before Christmas each of those 5 years (including one of the 5 earliest announcements thus far, 2010's 12/13.) Fingers crossed for news by Friday! May BP Santa bring you silver and gold!

I don't get many judge's comments but I appreciate them when I do. I have had them on images that remained finalists as well as on images that went on to gold. Of my three finalists this time, I have a judge's comment on only one so they are not commenting on quite everything :)

Judges commented on one of my two - not the one that I have higher hopes for. In the past I have not had images with Judges comments move on - hope for that trend to change! But it IS nice to know what it is that caught their eye.

I had a comment on 1 of the two Its probably the image I think has the best chance. The comment wasn't particularly encouraging that it would go any further though. Still wonderful to get a comment from them. :) I have only had two 2nd place winners thus far so really for me just getting a finalist is thrilling.
