1. Wow, my dear HappyCynic!

This is a stunning capture!

Even though your background is twiggy and full of interesting chaotic lines, the bird stands out clearly and beautifully!

Depending on what you got today, you could certainly enter this in the Fall Contest. But of course that's your choice.

The only photos that cannot be entered in the current contest are the ones that have been entered in some previous contest.

2. Thanks

I won't be entering this in the contest. The only thing that suggests fall are the reeds that have lost their green.

I have a couple different contenders for my contest entry choice. Not sure if either one will get past the prelims, though. I missed the best part of fall, with the vibrant coloured leaves.

3. You never know what the rest of DU will think of our photos!

It's impossible to tell which ones they'll like or dislike.

I like to see the contests as photos that reveal a bit of the world that we live in, rather than as a competition. The photos reveal what we like and also our vision.

Enter the one you like! I hope you'll enjoy seeing the contest unfold.

I'll be hosting this contest, and tomorrow I'll put up a timeline of events.
