Okay, I have come to a decision. I am not entering anything else that is not Black and White. I seem to do better that way :) All of my top 4 images are now Black and White. Curious!

How did everyone fare with FS??

I was just taking a stroll thru everyone's profiles to see how you did on the recent Free Study and noticed that Todd toddhead placed 5th in the Nude IV challenge with a 7.2893 score! Outstanding!

3578 views so far and 27 favorites. :D

A belated CONGRATULATIONS Todd! Sorry it was late.

Yes, he did very well and it was a BEAUTIFUL shot! His wife is really lovely :)

Congratulations again toddhead!

I'm in Fruits and Vegies... I had 4 shots to pick from. I hope I picked the right one. I like it... and most of all it was fun to shoot.

I have not done mine for school days yet. I have to come up with something. We are up against Underexposed... who is on that team?

Great! Glad to hear you're in for Fruits and Veggies. Good luck on getting together something for the Open challenge.

As for team Underexposed - Shane (

kudzu) is the team captain. There is some info on their team in his profile. Otherwise, on the WPL site, if you go to the Usergroups link at the top and select a team under 'Join a Group', then select the View Information button you will see a list of people for that team.

Fruits and Veggies is in. I hope it kicks everyone else's tail the way it kicks mine! I spent more time on that shot than I've spent on one in a couple years. And, yes, I shot it in JPEG.

I almost always shoot in fine JPEG... my camera lags too much in RAW LOL

That was a comment in reference to my ongoing struggle with digital format. :)

I read that thread! Good thread! I agree... it is more of a challenge to shoot in JPEG and get it right. Besides, what do I need with a 16mb file that I have to convert first anyway?? If I did it wrong, oops, can't correct it! I will know better next time :)

I admire your willingness to share that with the DPC community at large :)

Mine should be doing a lot better, but it's falling victim to a certain mentality.... The shot kicks butt, I'm sorry. :)

5.65 or so. :(

Thanks, once again Todd, for holding us up. :D Nice start, perhaps you'll still climb some more yet. It IS early in voting.

We're HOPING we can make it. My work scheduling has taken a real heckuva hit during late March and early April. By the time of the GTG, I may be so useless it's pitiful. (I love Michelin Tire for the work they give us, but the demands of the scheduling are sometimes ridiculous...)

Well Team - It looks like the party is over and the lights have been turned off. :(

I've been watching this thread (Dear DPC community,) for awhile today and it doesn't look promising for the WPL 4 season being continued.

Thanks to all of you for your wonderful team spirit. It's been short, but a pleasure nonetheless.

Don't be strangers now! :D Take care.

Dang! I'm starting to feel like a yo-yo. Ok...keep your wise-cracks to yourself! :D

Looks like we may be on again: WPL temporary thread to appease WPL addicts

This means I need to go into town this weekend to try and get a 'Street' shot. Love II and Hate are a challenge for me right now with the creative juices. Hmmm...

Checking in Cap'n :)

So happy someone decided to keep the WPL going! I believe DPC is interested in the WPL from what I read in that first thread :)

Sounds like change is upon us!! Wheeeeeee! LOL

Ok Team - If you haven't seen it by now, check this out => Ensuring the Future of WPL.

WPL 4 is still in progress, and without really missing a beat.

So have we warmed up enough yet to start kicking some photog tail?! :D

Sweet! We are back!

I am currently pulling a 6.45 in fruits and veggies and a 6.08 in Music. How is everyone else doing? We came close last week and our average was pretty good compared to some of the others out there. We really have a shot a pulling out some wins if we keep it up!

6.0310 in Fruits and Vegetables and 5.5085 in Music.

Yes, we actually had, I believe, the third best average, we just got kicked to fourth because of the loss to Untouchies. Not a bad showing, seriously, but I've tried to step it up a little :) I probably won't get a decent Street entry, but we'll see. Street stuff sucks for me, because I'm just cursed with thinking I look suspicious, regardless of whether I really do or not.
