Comments about this month's photo and caption contest get posted here, so that we keep the contest threads free of clutter.

So I guess pretty much anything goes. Just "catch" your snake or wild snake in a natural resting / basking position?

[Stefan-A]

I guess so. As long as you didn't try to get the snake to do something in that picture.

[MasSalvaje]

In-situ: In its natural or original position or place; in position.

It is a term used primarily when field herping describing an animal that is in its natural position and not manipulated at all. I had to modify the context to include everyone, so I included in-situ as well as non-posed snapshots.

Here are a couple of examples:

OK, I think I get it. Thanks for clarification. Now if I can only manage to get in the field early enough so the snakes will be sitting still...

Still got some pretty cute photos of my snakes too I could use.

Just for the record, I thought that the "does this stick make me look fat" by Mommy2many was the best caption for May 2010.

@ Boots: Thanks for the new layout with the photo contest poll. That was great being able to see each photo and username right there in the poll thread.

Since each user is allowed more than one entry in the caption contest, I'd like to see WHICH caption drew the most votes. That would be nice. Can we make that happen?

[Stefan-A]

And just for the record, no endorsing candidates.

[ConcinusMan]

I thought the poll was closed. Endorsing would be a moot point wouldn't it?

[Stefan-A]

It's not closed. It won't be for a couple of days.

[ConcinusMan]

Oh, I guess I was looking at the entry threads. Sorry. :o I honestly thought the poll was closed or I wouldn't have made that post.

[Stefan-A]

Congratulations to the winners.

[ConcinusMan]

Somehow I get the feeling that tyrel26 and drache didn't get a fair vote. Kind of hard to vote for one or the other when "tyrel26drache" was one of the choices given.:rolleyes:

[Boots]

Well you could have said something before the polls closed. I am only human, and it has been way to long since I posted the polls.

I just now noticed it myself.

[drache]

i didn't notice it either

[Tyrel26]

neither did I lol I was a part of a tag team and I had no idea

[Stefan-A]

So, how are you enjoying the May 2010 contest?

[ConcinusMan]

Knowing somebody messed up made it really fun.:p But hey, it's the middle of June, why don't we get on with a June contest?

[Tyrel26]

I second that motion! lol

[Stefan-A]

But hey, it's the middle of June, why don't we get on with a June contest?
Same reason as usual: We don't have a theme for it.

[ConcinusMan]

C'mon beansprout, we're waiting.:rolleyes: Hoping my new camera will come in time anyway.

[Stefan-A]

C'mon beansprout, we're waiting.:rolleyes:
She's neither the first nor the last one to forget about the contest. I could be wrong, but I think you did, too. But I have no intentions of chasing people down or chastising them if they do.

[TheBeansprout]

Oh, I'm sorry! Who do I send the picture and theme to?
I was waiting for that.

I'm really sorry...

[TheBeansprout]

Hi, sent Stefan-A a PM with theme and link to sample photo.

Again, I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it. :)
