Well, it appears that a street photography shot is not in my future :( I went out today and it was SO COLD NO ONE was on the street ANYWHERE!! bah! :(

Plus, it rained down ice on me, then it snowed... sorry guys! I do have plans for a love and a trees entry though :)

Street is in (hope I picked the right one - it was kinda fun and ended up with 3 shots I really liked).

Love II is in also. :D

Jojo - Hope you kept that camera in your jacket with the ice and snow falling around you!

Challenges that count for WPL 4 scoring (week 3) are:

Street (member challenge - advanced editing)

- plus -

Love II (open challenge - basic editing)
- or -
Hate (open challenge - basic editing)

Trees, while fun to shoot for, is not a WPL scoring challenge. Just FYI.

Have fun out there!

I'm back sorry I have been a team bummer. The ice strom, no work or power for a week then I went on vac. Good news I'm in Street, & will for sure pick up another one. CB

I am struggling with Street. I just went and took some shots, but I don't really like anything. I have a tremendous idea for Love, but I'm really having a hard time finding one to submit Strret. If I feel my picture will struggle getting a 5 should I even enter it?

Sounds like you needed a vacation after all of that! :D

Good to have you back (hopefully all rested up).

Do what feels right to you Todd. You have a nice string of scores going and I can certainly understand your hesitation.

Whatever choice you make it's cool with me. The important thing is to have fun, and to feel good about your photography is important also. After all, for most of us (at least for me anyway) this is a hobby. It should be enjoyable.

Okay, I made it in for street... strange but I went to the city and I suppose you get strange from the city :)

BTW, it stinks that Trees doesn't count :( My entry is one of my favorite shots to date... oh, wait... that probably means it will bomb :P ROFL

How did everyone do in F&V??

No Street entry for me. I took a lotta pics on Saturday, but none qualified, IMO, and so I'm hoping for a Love or Hate brainstorm to rain serendipities down on me.

F&V finished at 6.05 or so; lots lower than I had hoped. Looks like Todd had a good one there; congrats and THANKS!

Ok - Time for updates.

Does anyone have a score for 'School Days: Biology' or 'School Days: Music' that beats out their 'Fruits and Vegetables II' score?

How is everyone doing on 'Street'?

No, School Days:Music is only 5.5ish.

How many of you have entries in already for Street or for Love/Hate? I need to know how much pressure is on my Love entry, assuming I can get it done.

I have entered Hate :-/

My School Days Bio is at a pretty steady 5.5

I've got an idea for Love that will be a little outside the standard definition, but I doubt it will score very well. I'd like to do a high score, I just don't know if I can pull anything off. I swear there's a subliminal message in my pictures that says "VOTE 4".

Well, you have a lot of competition in Love. There are way fewer entries in Hate. That probably means the competition will probably be more fierce Bah! :) I think that as long as your picture is suitably mushy, you will do well.

Pressure, pressure, PRESSURE!!! Do it! LOVE it! Just get'r done as they say. :D

How's everyone doing with their street entry? I'm at a whopping 5.5 - bleh. My week 2 score will bump a little as 'School Days: Biology' is 5.75.

Anyone else in 'School Days: (Music/Biology)'? How's it going? Loving it, or Hating it? :P

School Days Music has crept up to 5.6 but probably won't get any further. Doesn't help the team but does help my average :)

I appear to have chosen the wrong photo for my street entry :( Please, don't ask LOL at least just the top 4 are averaged :D

But, Biology has dropped over the last hour or so to 5.2899. It seems people can't decide if they love it or hate it :-/

I'm in Love...

Wait, that doesn't quite sound like what I meant. I AM in love, but I've also entered a photo in Love II. Yeah, that.

I like it, not tremendously but okay, so it will probably score a 4.3. Yeah, that.

Go Todd go!
