Well 7 votes 5.8. Probably on the high side, I still figure to post up about a 5.5-5.7 with this one.

Well, I hope the others do well too, since it looks like I will be no help on B/W... currently under 5 on this one. Thats what I get for forcing an entry. I don't have anything for headwear or spots to compensate.

At least my reflections entry is still looking strong.

HEY... halfway point for week 1 and we are ranked #1 in our division! Great job!

I'm in bw and will enter headwear, if the rain would stop.

can we do headwear and or spots?

11/13/2006 09:58:28 AM · #105

You can only do one or the other, not both.

My bw might hand in there at 6. 6.1 with 40 votes and a couple comments. So maybe I will be in there somewhere at the end.

BTW this was my long exposure entry.

What did you guys enter?

Nice one Jason, I'm preparing my headwear, I skipped B/W...ideeas shortage failure.

This was my long exposure:

This was my long exposure entry... It did better than I expected at about 6.2.

My reflections entry is doing pretty well at just over 7.0 now! Unfortunately, my B/W entry is around 5.0, which sucks. I just threw something in at the last minute just to have a submission for this week. I don't think I will do that again.

As it would sit right now, we would be the leaders of our division. We will see how that changes with the next challenges coming in. (I think Tuesdays results count right?) Anyway good job you guys, and nice first entries!

7! Keep up the good work Chuck!

Well, I broke 7 for the first time on reflections. Wanted to crack the top 5, but I just missed with 6th place. Here's my entry:

My B&W is dismal... hope you all are doing better.

Wow, great shot. I think you were robbed a bit in the voting. I think this was better than a couple. Great job on the 7 anyway. A 7 is sort of a dream of mine.

I think I set a record for myself.4.7 and nooooooooo comments at all!! is this normal? oh well I think my photo was soooo good that it left them speechless! Good job on the rest of your reflection photos!!

Monroe... I love the reflection you have on the window, but I think you didn't crop down far enough. I think if you cropped down tight on the window and left some color in there, you would have gotten a much higher score.

My BW score is sliding. I hope I can hang on for a 6.

The web site with the results seems to be down... Did it move?

Did you try //www.wpleagues.com?

Works now. Looks like a strong week for us last week. You guys need to come up big. I am in the middle of moving and don't know what I will be able to enter, and if I do enter something it might be a crap shoot as to if it is worthy of a 6.

I just entered perspective. It's not bad, but not great either. Hopefully it will finish above 6. I had an idea for postcard, but couldn't get out to shoot it. I hope you all have some great entries!

Well, my headwear entry is doing better than my B&W, but I missed out on the Postcard challenge, and I won't be able to enter anything for Perspective or the other one. I do have some ideas for Light on White, though, so I hope to make up for it next week. Sorry for not being able to contribute this week...

Hey, did you guys notice we're now 1st in our division after the Week2 halftime update? And my score for Headwear is going to be higher than the one that's now included for the halftime update...

BTW, initially I had trouble seeing the update, but if you hit Refresh on the www.wpleagues.com page and then click through to WPL3 it works fine.

Well, that's great to see! I doubt it will hold up when the open challenge results come in. Our opponents didn't get 4 entries in for the member challenge, but I would bet they will have enough entries once the remaining challenges roll over. Their scores so far are quite a bit higher. But, it is a nice thing to see, even if only temporarily.

Good luck on all the upcoming submissions everyone!
