The December Photo and Caption Comments thread.

[adamanteus]

Let's make general comments about this month's photo and caption competitions here, to keep the competition threads free of general talk.:)

[RZL36]

James,

How the hell is anyone gonna beat the photo you posted?

[adamanteus]

Ah, that's not my entry, simply an example. Anyway, Molly isn't a member!:D

[Stefan-A]

How much of the member (pun not intended) needs to be visible?

[adamanteus]

I think it was Kuno's intention that the member be identifiable, ie showing their face. I don't think 'just hands' would do.
Why? What percentage of 'the member' did you have in mind, Stefan?:D

Just trying to figure out the chance of winning. :D

[adamanteus]

The standard of your photography is always very high, Stefan. I always look forward to seeing your photo in the contests. So you have as much chance as any one of us.:)

[Stefan-A]

Not if my face is supposed to be visible. :D

[reptileparadise]

It cant be that bad...can it?:D

[adamanteus]

We won't be judging the competition on the members looks. If we did, there would be one obviously clear winner. Of course modesty prevents me from naming him!:rolleyes:

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

i cant enter because alll my garters are brumating:( if i could enter my milks i would enter

James, Rick won't mind a bit if you name him. :D

Lori, he was talking about me.........:rolleyes:

[zooplan]

lol what do you think?? lol

[anji1971]

It may not qualify for the contest, but it sure is a fun picture Lulu!!:D

[Snaky]

I just looked through all my digital pics and realize I've never taken a picture of myself with any snake in all the years that I've kept snakes:eek:

Unfortunately everything is in hibernation here also, so it's a bummer but I won't be entering this months contest :(

[jewel-dragons]

but every one has pictures enough from there garters,make a photo with you and your picture :-)

[Snaky]

Lol Kuno, I'll have a look.... maybe I'll take a picture from me at the hibernation plase where a little bit of snake is visible through the plastic... it opens perspectives :D

[jewel-dragons]

that's also an idea :-)

[Stefan-A]

Lol Kuno, I'll have a look.... maybe I'll take a picture from me at the hibernation plase where a little bit of snake is visible through the plastic... it opens perspectives :D
I might do it the other way around. A picture of the snake in its hibernation terrarium with a little bit of me visible through the plastic. :D

[jewel-dragons]

my photo was the only one i could find.... so if you don't like my photo (or my head) don't vote me, whahahaha

[adamanteus]

I'm sorry Kuno. I had to remove your competition entry... as last month's winner you cannot enter the contest, as you chose the theme. Sorry!

[Snaky]

Why not add it as an example picture, it was such a nice photo! :D

[adamanteus]

Why not add it as an example picture, it was such a nice photo! :D

I guess I could have swapped it for the example I already posted. I never thought! I think my daughter is a bit prettier than Kuno!!:D

[drache]

I think my daughter is a bit prettier than Kuno!!:D
true
she's probably prettier than any of us (except perhaps Mikhaila)
but she's not a member

[jewel-dragons]

I guess I could have swapped it for the example I already posted. I never thought! I think my daughter is a bit prettier than Kuno!!:D
thank you.... :D

[jewel-dragons]

but the the topic is still empty.....
there was one photo from me,and now he's empty again :-)

come on people show us your pretty face!!!!!!

[adamanteus]

I'm sure you will have a good response to your topic this month, Kuno. It's a very good theme. I will be entering as soon as I have a shave and brush my hair!:D

[drache]

yup
I may even enter
Mikhaila for sure

[Gijs & Sabine]

Whaahaaa, that's a great picture Don :D:D I like it a lot !!
Btw how many times did your melanistic slip down?? :D sorry, just had to ask, lol

[ssssnakeluvr]

Thanks!! actually, none.....she is in hibernation in the garage where I took the photo....she was cold and didn't move. the door that my parking sign is on is the door to my critter room...

[Lulu Bennett]

hahahaha Don, great pic. i love it!

[Lori P]

ROFLMAO Greg-- your caption is awesome!!!!!!!!

[gregmonsta]

[ssssnakeluvr]

Very funny!!!!!! Love it!!!!! :D

[enigma200316]

well there we go I'm entered, just a little balancing act we've been practicing...lol:D

[adamanteus]

Good to finally see you, Justin.:)
How did you manage to persuade your snake to balance on your light-sabre?:D

[enigma200316]

the old Jedi mind trick...........:D;)

[enigma200316]

nice pic Udo, just make sure you don't drop any...........:D;)

[Sputnik]

Woohoo! I didn't miss the deadline this time. Decided to go for the supercool look. Ha.

[anji1971]

Woohoo! I didn't miss the deadline this time. Decided to go for the supercool look. Ha.

I like it!! Nice pic!:)

[Sputnik]

It's (the picture..well and me, lol) a bit strange, but thank you for saying so. :D

[zooplan]

The poll will start soon but I don´t know whom to give my vote this time.

[Sputnik]

Shame we can't vote for Molly, she's too cute for words! But I guess, officially she's not a member of the forum (yet ;)).

[drache]

I missed it it again, did I?

[Sputnik]

Nope, not yet! Get on in there, girl! ;)

[enigma200316]

The poll will start soon but I don´t know whom to give my vote this time.


me,me,me its the Holidays you know...........:D;)

[adamanteus]

Somebody voted for me!!! Amazing. Maybe I have a secret admirer?:rolleyes:

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

hmmm maybe it yourself?:D

[anji1971]

Oh my God, I just had a peek at the results......am I seeing things right?? I'm in the lead??:eek::eek:
I was just happy to have a photo that matched the theme for a change!!
I know it's a long way from over, but man, do I feel special right now!! :p

[zooplan]

At least there´s one vote for each entry!
It seems again to be a kind comunity here.
But also it seems to be the poll for "Miss Thamnophis", no chance for any male:rolleyes:

[Stefan-A]

That's right. :D The only way to compete with that, is using comedy, and we aren't THAT funny. ;)

[adamanteus]

hmmm maybe it yourself?:D

No it wasn't me. I haven't voted yet.:)

[Sputnik]

You haven't? Still time to bribe you then? Oooooh, James, you know how much I love you... :D:D:D

[Lori P]

It was a really hard one this time!!! I loved all the pics. It was a great theme. :-)

[adamanteus]

One more day of voting left.... so if you haven't done so yet.......
Anji, I guess you'd better start thinking of a theme for the January contest!;)

[zooplan]

something strange!
or something cuet!

[adamanteus]

I suppose it's getting harder to think of new and interesting themes now, all the obvious choices are gone.

[Stefan-A]

I think it' just starting to get interesting. :)

[anji1971]

Oh, I've got a couple of plain old normal themes in my head! I'll leave the 'strange' for when someone else wins. Something tells me Stefan could come up with something unique......:D

[anji1971]

Actually, I've been peeking at the votes again, and it appears I have some close competition........
looks like it may be Don who needs to come up with a new theme!!;)

[adamanteus]

Congratulations to Anji on a well deserved win. It was a close run thing though... better luck next time Don!
As soon as she lets me know the theme for the January contest, I'll post the relevant threads. So, what's it to be, Anji?:D

[drache]

congrats Anji!
she's probably still asleep
it's pretty early here

[Stefan-A]

Congratulations, Anji! :)

[enigma200316]

congrats Anji........:)

[tikichick]

Congratulations, Anji :D

[anji1971]

Thanks everyone!! I am just dragging my sorry butt out of bed now, so as soon as I get some caffeine into my system, I'll get to the new theme.
Since it was the year-ending photo contest, do I officially qualify as "Miss Thamnophis 2007"???:D:D:D

[adamanteus]

do I officially qualify as "Miss Thamnophis 2007"???:D:D:D

No.:rolleyes:

[Stefan-A]

That title should probably go to James' daughter anyway. ;) She's been posing in a lot of threads with a lot of little critters already.

[adamanteus]

Personally, I don't think anyone should be given that title.... until they've competed in the 'swim wear' section.;)

[anji1971]

Swimwear??That would just completely ruin it for me. Not a pretty picture.:eek::eek:
