PapaBob is my father and he just got a 7. He is going to rub this in my face for ever until I get one. He is the most competative son of a gun you will ever meet and it drove him nuts that I had more 6's and a 6.5. Now I will never hear the end of it. I actually saw him shooting this, and I was teasing him by saying "5.5","nobody likes glasses and sunsets", and "are you really going to enter that?" Well he wins this round.

I also suspect that he will be looking to upgrade his camera soon to gain a advantage over me in the long run. Since I am in school I am too poor to possibly keep up with him and will have to rely on Photoshop skills to hopefully someday get a 7 of my own.

Congrats on the excellent shot dad.

I can't hit 6 lately! He will not let up on me now. I bet he will say things like "how bout I take you out shooting and show you a few things", "need help editing that?" "what you should do is..."

So what ticks you off more - the fact that he got a 7 - or that it got honorable mention and a top ten :P

7 for sure. I will not hear the end of the 7. He will use it everytime I see him.

He was DW's for not knowing how to set the date on his camera. Looks like I won't be getting that 7 rubbed in my nose after all.

I never thought about sabotage! Hmmm, no I think I just screwed up!

It really is bad when you just had a brain fart, if I cheated it would not hurt to get caught but just being stupid hurts.....

OK, since I was DQ'd you do not have to address me as Captain 7 anymore!

Yep, everytime he goes out to shoot, I reset the date on his camera just in case he gets a top 5.

Well, PapaBob, you may have been a bit of an eejit in not checking your date setting, but is a fine photograph!
