Or a camera breaker. Force them to use $20 P&S cameras. Should keep them down to less than 7 average.

I've climbed up to a 6.5 in spots and am sitting 5.85 in postcard, though I expected it to be a least a 6.111.

Looks like you're the man this round, Zoomdak.

My Postcard entry is at 5.87 at 95 votes with only 4 comments. Too bad, as I think it's my best photo. :-( The agony, the heartbreak! ;-)

bounce around 6 on both Headwear and postcard.

Good comments on both and a fave on postcard.

Let's go Year Born!!!!!

Also have some ideas for Light on White

11/21/2006 10:15:23 AM · #331

I'll have something ready for Perspective tonight. I'm trying to get a color "just right" without messing up another elsewhere in the picture. Sometimes I really hate basic editing... Anyway, I'm thinking at least low 6's on this one.

I am so 6ish this week.

Good shooting this week team! Strikeslip lead the pack with his awesome B&W shot.

Sorry I couldn't contribute to the top 4 this time.

Now we take on the big kids, Team 5D.

I have a 6.4 in Year Born with 59 votes. Early yet, hopefully it will rise!

Still hovering around 6 in Postcard.

My postcard is still above 6 and my perspective is just above 6 but dropping rather quickly. I really screwed up and combined multiple conversions from raw (thinking it was legal in basic since it was 1 image) and had something I really liked. I then read 20 min. before deadline that you can't do that, as posted by SC. I redid my shot with 1 conversion from raw and submitted, but the original is much better. If I had more time I could have made it better since it was mostly hue/sat type adjustments for color. Sorry guys!

I'm at 6.2875 in Postcard II and 6.1899 in The Year You Were Born. Both are good scores for me (3rd and 4th best ever at this stage) but not enough against 5D I'll wager. How are you guys going?

11/23/2006 01:50:26 PM · #336

Postcard 6.04
Year Born 6.31

11/23/2006 02:06:04 PM · #337

Postcard = 6.18
Perspective = waiting on a DQ (see mad_brewer's post above.... DOH!) It's only scoreing 5.2 anyway, so no matter.

Postcard 6.13
Perspective 5.73

I still think my perspective is worth of a 6, but considering I have 2 comments suggesting illegal editing, I think I'm paying the price.

Anybody have anything submitted or in mind yet for the new challenges? Not much here yet.

Plus, I'm in for Light on White. Technically strong, but no Wow-factor. A solid 6er I'm guessing? Never know.

I'm in Light on White (low 5's) and Diagonal (high 5's). I may try something else for Light on White tonight.

11/25/2006 05:30:45 PM · #341

Nothing yet, but I'm working on Light on White...

Edit: I'm in and I really like it. So either it's a 6.5 or 5.3.

Oh no! At the half-way mark we are down 6.1398 vs 7.3214 to Team-5D. This looks like a loss :(

didn't get my photo for light on white on time. bummer. will try to get something into one of the open challenges though, and free study for sure.
sitting at a 5.7 in perspective.

11/27/2006 06:07:33 AM · #344

Doh.... looks like my Light on White is actually a 5.0. I admit, it is pretty boring. :-P

Hopefully we'll get a second chance in the playoffs. My Light on White made it back up over 6 after a miserable rollover.

11/27/2006 06:29:40 PM · #346

I'm on my way to the back of the bus to kick team 5D's ass. Those guys think they're so cool they don't even have a team thread.

I've got my numchucks, who's with me? Wedgies all around!

:-P

11/27/2006 08:41:39 PM · #347

I'll pass on my wedgie.

I knew that...

But if they get wedgies that might inspire them even more.
