Certainly some fun images in the Magic & Mystery challenge - hats off to the ribbon winners!

Just a few minor surprises in the results for me this time around. I had these three picked to make top 10 and they came up a little short.

- 39th
- 42nd
- 18th

Anyone else have a surprise or two in the Magic & Mystery challenge (not including your own)?

Mostly the Magic & Mystery challenge has been the one where the votes overall have, at least to the most part, been in line with mine.



I think was the lowest out of the ones that I had picked for higher things.

I don't usually watch the threads but my husband (Timfythetoo) said I should check this one out. COOL! Thanks guys! I wasn't sure how the voters might accept my pic - wasn't "in your face" magic & mystery as defined by the majority maybe. Overall I was happy with the result since I started out with a 5.4. It's wierd...I've learned that I have no clue how a pic is going to score. I almost didn't post my one blue ribbon shot because I thought it might not get a 5.5! I think I'm usually off because I tend to correlate how much emotion/time/etc I have invested in a pic with what I think it should score. Then I'm confused when something I just snap & post out-scores it.

Anyway...I guess I'm in a rambling mood! I just wanted you to know that I was so pleased to see that a couple of others expected it to do a bit better.

It's a beautiful picture but doesn't seem mysterious to me.

Here was my favorite (along with Shermy's):

Aparition I thought was neat, I gave that 6. I don't really understand why there's an "average vote with no camera" seperated from the other average vote. The averafe with no camera being, strangely, exactly 6.

I had this one pegged for a top ten easily. Maybe even a Ribbon. I only picked one of the top 3 to ribbon and that was Shannon's.

Lowest 7: 83rd

Lowest 8: 30th

Lowest 9: 70th

Lowest 10: 3rd ;) I knew Larus would blue, but I thought this was red and Shannon's was 3rd. Close...

I'm confused, I didn't think that multiple exposure shots were allowed?
