		| I get the feeling that success and failure challenges this week are going to require people to think out of the box when voting.  I think that if you enter an out of the box photo, you probably should put a title that somewhat explains your thinking for the photo. |

		Had an idea that could actually have worked in BOTH challenges, but ran out of time, am stuck at home with the kids tonight and tomorrow I have to go shoot a dress rehersal all evening and of course am stuck at work during the day so you guys will have to live without me in this challenge.

		| I put mines in success...I figured since i want to be successful i should avoid all failures....even if they were actual attempts at failing. |

		I have one for each, taken in the same general place. I can't decide which to use. Neither are wonderful, but each does clearly meet challenge... ohhh, decisions, decisions. 
 Well, I already know whichever way I decide to go will be wrong... |

		I polled my friends on which best fit my photo concept. They overwhelmingly voted for "Success". However, while it represents a personal breakthrough with regards to lighting techniques, I think my "Success" entry will turn out to be a failure.

		I can't decide if most of the entries are going to be very literal photographs of "success/failure" or if they're going to be more abstract or representative... hmm...  I think both could be fun.

		I won't have much trouble to submit a failure, LOL seemingly every entry I did last few weeks, seems to be one.
 
 I had a nice one on the 12th, can't enter that one, but I think I will succeed to get brown with the one I have made now.

		| My "failure" currently in the heat challenge means I'd be wise to avoid doing success or failure this week, so I shall. |

		| well I just entered a picture for failure (I hope the pun in that doesn't come true... oh come'on, you had to expect that joke)  wish me luck that my failure entry is a success  (went back to my camera for this one) |

		Any pic that fits one challenge would also fit the other.
 
 One's failure can always be considered as another's success. |

 Ah, but not every success requires another's failure. |

		I'm in big trouble.  I like my entry.  That always leads to a big disappointment.
 
 My success entry is going to be a failure...
 
 So if I entered it in to the Failure challenge, would that make it a success?  Ouch, that just hurt my brain...... |

		| Judging by the one comment I have, my success is destined to be a failure. |

		So far my failure entry is turning out to not be as big of a success as I had planned. I'm at about a 5 right now... ergh, I'd like to be up a little more. Oh well... hopefully the Beatles challenge will turn out better for me.

		 uhhhhhhhhhhh...you're not supposed to describe/talk about which entry is yours until the voting is over.
 
 (..edit to remove self-stupidity...)
