 Well... with any luck, he'll maintain that pattern and the vote won't count in the end.  :-) |

 5 5 (4.67x3) 5 4.  I'm down 0.07 in that span. |

 Just hanging there now. I'm satisfied, considering I'm not a portrait photographer at all.

 So that makes two beers you have to buy me. FYI, Achoo and I made a bet at the start of the year as to who could reach the coveted 7.5 score. Loser buys the winner a beer. I own your butt Achoo!

 Well crap, and I thought mick was the only one in rare air.  The final 4 will be interesting...
 
 People have thought I was pessimistic when I said I wasn't going to make the Top 10.  We'll see if that bears out or not.  I'm now 99.9% positive I'm not in the Top 4. |

		I've decided that I'm not going to post my stats here any more. It might cause some people to become depressed over their own score.
 
 I will say though that if you're looking to win a blue ribbon, then you should do yourself a favor and start working real hard on the next challenge. :)

 Tell me about it.  Here I was thinking I might make it to a 6 score.  Wishful thinking on my part. |

		OK, I know everybody was really concerned so I thought I'd report that my score has mostly recovered.
 
 You can all relax now. |

 And what's wrong with "Very Nice"?  I say that at times, it could have been me, but I certainly don't give a 1 if I say this, that's just odd. |

 Hey just keep at it, I am also 100% self taught, Ijust figure things out as I go along, read books and articles on the internet and experiment.  
 
 I don´t remember who said it but this quote makes a lot of sense.  "I´ts easy to become a good photographer, you just have to accept that your first 50.000 photos suck!"  |   
 
 I totally disagree with the last portion of this quote... If this were the case, then I still make crappy photos--doubt it--but then I'm an extremely fast learner at things too, so that may set me apart from the rest. |
