September Photo Challenge DISCUSSION THREAD

Thanks Hoopy and PM!:) It did indeed take a lot of time, especially as I didn't stick any of the leaves down. One false move (or stray breeze) and I would've had to start again from scratch. I've cropped the pic down to use as an avatar, too.

I've really had a lot of fun with this challenge. Great theme.:)
 
Very good theme this month, and I'm loving the creativity. Really makes me wish I hadn't lost my camera in the move!

Taly - not only is your entry creative and amazing, but just darned pretty too. Would we all walk on fallen leaves if they were as striking as that? I think not.
 
I think I know who's gonna win! :D

I have no idea what to take for my second photo. If I run out of time, are photos of vegetables shaped like body parts allowed?? I have a tomato that looks like a bum.
 
Thanks BookStop.:)

I'd forgotten about Blackadder!

I thought about entering a pic of a funny shaped vegetable myself. In the past, we've had some humorously shaped carrots (especially one that looked like a pair of trousers), and with a little papercraft I could've turned it into a person, but they weren't ready for harvesting yet.
 
What? That's a thing from Blackadder, is it?

*snicker*

We had a Blackadder party once, and there were a few parsnips going around.


Well, to say I thought up this theme (and I'm so glad everyone's got into the spirit of it, I was worried for a while!) I haven't got a ruddy clue. Especially compared to the awesomeness that has already been posted.
 
So today I learned that in Hot Egg vs. Pen the result will be Hot Egg 1-0 Pen.
 
The poll should close about now, but I haven't had a chance to set up the poll, plus I never gave the traditional warning - so a short extension is in order. I'll set up the poll in about ten hour's time, so if you've got a last-minute entry, post it!
 
I think that's my fault. I moved it into a different folder after I copied the link instead of doing it the other way around! D'oh! I've posted it again, but feel free to delete it if that's not in the rules. Sorry!
 
Not many entries, but all of them are wonderful! I wish I could vote for everyone, but since I can't they all end up on my shortlist:

AE35Unit - I love the humour in these two pics, and the meccano band is great.
Brev - A really spooky shot, and very atmospheric. I love the face - it reminded me of some earth spirit, trapped in the rocks.
UltraCulture - This really made me smile. Very clever.:)
Mouse - The gummi bear confrontation made me laugh, and the egg was brilliant. I even felt a bit sorry for the egg at one point!:)
alchemist - Very nicely put together. I'd been looking for household items with a face to possibly use myself, but didn't have anything. Cleverly done!
Perpetual Man - The tree is great (it made me think of the Green Man legend at first, then Ents), and I'd love to have something like that near me. The gingerbread man pic made me smile, too.

Picking a winner was really difficult, but in the end I went for Brev.

Well done everyone!:)

Edit: And thanks for the votes, Chris and PM - that's made my afternoon!

Arrgh I forgot to take my pictures again! I had some ideas this time, but things have just been too busy and the month slipped away from me.

I really loved Mouse's gummi bears, but the lady of Autumn nudged it out.
 
Was going to take part, but life went too pear shaped (fruitonification?) and I ran out of time. Hopefully next month!

Anyway, there were a lot of options here on who to vote for, even with so few entries. So may different approaches! Ultimately I liked the assembled scenes that Talysia put together, the lady of autumn being my favorite. I did like Mouse's egg too though, I get days where I feel like that! And Henry raised interesting questions about what form artificial intelligence might end up taking.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing who wins, and what our next subject will be!
 
I was tempted to go with Brev, but had to go for Talysia's photos, both of them. It must be an arty household you have there!
