I have free study entered and I reckon it deserves a good five +. The Amalfi coast, Pompeii and Napoli shots are a month old now and it doesn't feel right . . .

Sickdog wants a life! Don't ask for mine, you'll be disappointed.

We've got some great cemeteries in Charleston, SC. Old tombs, dripping Spanish moss, that kind've thing. I'm looking forward to this death shoot, though I suspect many people will shoot graveyards.

i'm thinking that too but we have one particularly beautiful one here in oakland...

maybe with the right motivation and a good shovel, i can come up with a pic so shocking that it's a sure win!

This shot out to qualify for double bonus, since it is both life AND death. Awesome shot Raish!

Ah, but you did - you cropped with your camera. I'll often offer that comment as well. To me it's both a crop with post or a crop with the camera. Either way it means you filled the frame with your picture nicely!

I don't know if you realized but you have this right now! And also half your last ten entries are above a 6! Hello Team Suck :) sorry about the little hijack.

Hey Joe, stop in any time! We allow the occasional ribbon winner to visit as long as they're nice guys - you qualify.

And I hadn't looked lately, so I didn't realize I'd achieved my goal. It's a fluctuating thing. Some days are up, some not. :-) Nice of you to notice, though - thanks!

Ahem! I don't think a 6.1 exactly sucks...

My Free Study is in. I pulled it once for another one, then stuck it right back in there. I don't do Free Study entries for score - it's freakin' impossible to score well in those (my opinion, your mileage may vary) so Free Studies are a chance to just do what you want to do. In the case of these monthly things, to find something that grabbed you for whatever reason and go for it. So I did. And it will indeed bomb as far as score goes. I really don't mind.

My other contenders have been put in my Comments requested folder - you're welcome to take a gander if you wish. I think one of them *may* have been worthy of a 6 score in anything except a Free Study, but I'll never know.

This is not the norm, I made up for it in postcard. B-10 bomber. What is up with James Bond? I have nothing my mind is Oatmeal. Do you just walk up to someone and ask " Do you have an extra AK -47 I need it for a photo shoot". I don't think I will score well if I use a deer rifle. ARRRRRR

I'm sitting at 5.4ish for both light on white and famous last words.

But the 4 comments on each are very positive. :)

As for famous last words specifically, I just hope it makes people laugh!

I didn't enter the tuesday challenges. My poor 4.6ish l.o.w. is all I have this week. Free Study counts for next week. Speaking of which, I agree with Deb. I always bomb the Free Study.

Only FS I ever did is 2nd place on my portfo page. I just browsed through the month's pictures and chose the one most likely to. I have no soul. I took masses of far out pictures at the end of October but had no means of posting them here. Boo hoo. This month I gotta cutey. Twin-handled buy-no-peculiar vision technology has me homing hard in on the middle of the tree. But only metaphorically, because there isn't really a tree.

Oh by the way, I am working on a class project this weekend that includes photographs shot at f1.4 with no focus and no subject. If anyone has great examples, let me know.

I've entered James Bond. I spent a lot of time on this - two days on wild goose chases looking for a couple of things I had seen previously and couldn't find this week. I finally went with another idea, and shot it at home. Now I have to start working on Life or Death ideas.
