4. Though of a anti beauty entry. What does a Jack O Lantern see?


He needs glasses it appears.

17. Right. I will probably wait to see if there is any problem
filling the 30th slot. A little fun is always welcomed.

12. Well, for every GDer that gets touchy about it...
maybe they'll be a few who'll like it. This is Hazel Honeysuckle, BTW. She loves doing pinup and burlesque and is quite a sweet (and married) lady.

32. I think it's terrific.
I have no idea why some people find a sexy shot offensive. Sex is supposed to be fun, at least it was the last time I checked.

That shot is fun!

28. Vielen Dank, MissHoneychurch!
I was lucky enough to visit the Painted Hills this fall! It is in the high desert of central Oregon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painted_Hills

I highly recommend it to anybody who can make it. Late afternoon is best!

20. If anyone would like to see a video of the pinup shoot...
our intrepid meetup organizer, Brandon, has been branching out into video and made a short film with the three models that afternoon.

23. What fun!
It's a spooktacular photo. I think it will go over very well. The photo is a superb culmination from the video.

(I think the reaction will be similar to what happened when we had SchemaThing's wet blue dress in the rain, remember?)

24. I well remember SchemaThing's gorgeous photo.
It had a bit more innocence and sense of serendipity than mine, though.
Anyone who wants to say that the photo was submitted by a female to anyone who's freaking out; that would be helpful.

26. the point is
It really shouldn't matter who submitted it, or what sex they were. If people choose to be offended, they will. If they choose to be offended, then they will be in the camp that wanted WWII era pinup posters banned.

It's a great photo. I personally am going to avoid the naysayers.

I have quite a bit more sympathy for those that don't want to see blood and guts. That doesn't mean I agree with them, but at least I can see their point of view.

34. Oh man! Recruiters better be on the lookout.
As always some incredible stuff. I'm just happy to be able to contribute.

No poll needed. Outright rejected, IMO. Again, thanks for the opportunity.

And it will haunt me for it's beauty.
I am speechless. I love it so much.
There is nothing missing. It's perfect.

I took it last week at the Nassau County Art Museum. I posted the other one that was already in my photobucket but after I downloaded my new batch I decided to switch. Art and Autumn seemed to go well together.

37. Mira, love yours but you might need to change the title
Didn't we discover that polls and quotation marks do not mix well? I think it gave someone fits once.

38. OOps - Thank you for telling me. By now the editing period has expired, and
I must leave it up to the host to fix it as he types the headers.

I think you and I have the only red leaves, Celebration. I jettisoned 2 intended entries because others entered very similar things, but our red leaves are dissimilar enough, besides, my main leaf is cognac colored. I also got tired of making new choices.

:)

Yes, quotes make the entry disappear out of a poll.

43. I know people say this every time, but...
...this really is an amazingly strong set of entries.

As I went through them, I found myself thinking "Well, this one is the sure winner...No, I think this one is...Maybe this one..." until I lost count.

44. I just love the photos
and I hesitate saying that because I have one submitted (just feels funny). So... Mine aside, which I'm OK with - the autumn season theme has produced some truly outstanding photos. I love the 'approaches' - which are as varied as the regions and countries. The scenes are both traditional and different - all at the same time. The color is spectacular. Truly outstanding photos.

46. They just keep coming in...the gorgeous entries...
Ohheckyeah...a beautiful depiction of Mabry Mill at its very best time of year. I can be there in under an hour drive from here, but it's been a while, so I am delighted with that photo.
And CC
now that is what I have been waiting for to round out the lineup. I just did not know it.
Glad to see you submit. Few and far between, but bulls eyes every time. That color just sings.
:)

I love Mabry Mill. I live about an hour and a half away from it going on the Parkway. We drove up on the Parkway yesterday but most of the color is gone now.

48. I would comment more
but Terry came home from Miami and all he brought me was a nasty cold virus. Then he went back toward Miami. I am airheaded (more so than normal) and hoping to curl up in the couch until this is gone.

Flowers don't tend to do well in fall contest specially with some of the gorgeous vista's and colors already in it. I like that the contest are getting harder and harder to vote in. :)

I just thought there needed to be a squirrel in the group, particularly one with a nut in its mouth. (It is still an archive picture, though.)
