Cool! Hehe, when I first saw it on the front page, I thought the title was "shallow tale". I thought, hmmmm, deep and meaningful image, I suppose. Hehe. But it is what it is. I love the way you think!

No thanks. Whenever I'm "expected" to come through, I pull out all the stops. So tournaments, DPL, direct competitions and topics that I suggest account for the vast majority of my higher scores. I don't have IreneM's grasp of color and composition, the models of Kiwiness or Librodo, or the landscapes of Iceland or Cannon Beach, so I have to lean heavily on concepts. It's tough to do that on every single challenge, so I've generally avoided the DPC Olympics, Formula competition and side challenges. Plus, I'm down to one camera with a sticky shutter button. :-(
