Good luck at rollover, everyone! Lookin' like I'm going to keep my 6.3 in night shot. And I've gotten 22 comments! Second-most ever. :)

Funny thing....I had that same thought.....

Way to go, Jeff!

I'm actually very pleased with the results of mine....I expected low to mid 5, and it's lingering at 5.9. It's funny, but I now am not particularly pleased with anything that I think won't do 6.0 or better......I've come a long way with the help of TS!

I have one in Landscape that I don't think will do a 6 on a bet, but I like it, so what the heck!

nice one jeffrey! it's very cool matching voices to faces.

And all I could think of was "Land Shark", but didn't get a shot put together.

Be on the lookout for my Landscape entry! Not just out of the box.. I think it kind of stomped on the box and ran away. LOL.

It seems to me that TS members are regularly scoring 6+ scores and consistently beating some of the DPC "Usual Suspects" such as Dr Achoo, Judi, and idnic.

Seems we just had another half dozen good scores in Night Shot.

Way to go, people, keep up the good work!

And watch out, DPC, we do NOT suck!

My landscape is in voting now. Unfortunately I have convinced myself not to look at any of the other entries or my score/profile page until voting ends. ooer.

Hmmm.... if Team Suck members are regularly scoring in the 6's, do they really suck anymore? Perhaps we need a Team Suck Less. Or Team Suck Lite, to which all the regular 6-scorers graduate. :-)

it's an online radio broadcast you can download to play on your ipod. i don't have an ipod, so i just listen at my computer.

i should have pulled my landscape and put in my red barn

. my score is sub-5. o well. as deb said - it's too quiet for DPC. that's my reasoning, and i'm sticking to it!

You can look forward to all the "way underrated" comments after the challenge. I'm thinking of seeing if I can sell mine on eBay. I could get a new lens or two if that's the case. :-)

Actually I agree with Deb. This was the one place I felt I could come to with my sucky scores and still be happy not having to compare to everyone else. Now, when i look at the thread, it seems to be... Hey, got another +6 here, hey we're great. I'm happy for you all. But, I seem to have lost my happy place. Don't take me wrong please. Maybe I'm just in a crappy mood. But this just doesn't feel like team suck anymore. I feel like I don't fit in anymore. I really do think that after people start achieving 6's on a regular basis they should move on (always welcome to stop in of course) and make room for someone else. Then there are those of us who are never going to be 6 contenders who can remain happy.

hey, kelli, cheer up. i'm also in the sub 6 category.

but, no, no, no, no, no! we keep who we have, unless they want to move on. even if they're scoring 9s, they're still team suck members who have and will contibute enormously to our community. we can't penalise our members for scoring well!?
