I’ve just voted. It was tough to pick three, and on another day I might have picked a totally different set of pictures to vote for.
Votes closing in one hour.
And we’re done. At the risk of repeating myself, that was an exceptionally strong month.
Congratulations to @Strinka for the winning entry, which I thought was a fun and clever take on the theme. 
This means that you get the pick the next theme, and as always, I’ll point gently towards the guidance in the very first post in this thread about what makes a good one.
Congratulations once again @Strinka - please PM me your pick for the next theme.
I tied for the Bronze this time, which is the best I’ve done.
Great photos this time! Congrats to Strinka!
Congrats Strinka! Literal’s great.
Oh, wow! I wasn’t expecting that! I’m flattered. Thank you everyone!
Now, I have to come up with a new theme. I’ve got so many ideas, it’s hard to pick one.
Out of curiousity, what kind of bulb was that? Was it by any chance a flashbulb, or is it a regular (but fancy) incandescent, or what? It’s perfect for its chosen purpose in your photograph
Hi everyone. @Strinka has picked “trees” as the next theme. I’ll get the competition thread set up tomorrow. Happy photographing!
The new competition thread is up.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and predict we will be seeing some great fall foliage pictures.
I might branch out into different styles…
The two of you need to leave.
mmm
Quit trying to foliage all the fun!
There’s no telling who one may root for.
Don’t bark at us!
C’mon people, can we please just stick to the topic?
mmm
Yeah, as organiser, I’m going to have to ask… please, please PLEASE wood people stop with the tree puns.
Fir chrissakes, yes.
He’s aspen you nicely.
mmm

We all need to kick back and smoke a bole.
