Congrats Julianne! That's a beautiful picture and well deserving of a blue ribbon in the "real" world!

Heh, now someone requested a validation for my Negative Space entry. Considering my current score, a DQ wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen to it, but sadly, yes, I do have the original file, and yes, I did scrupulously follow the basic editing rules, so no such luck.

My double take entry was in the 4.3s when I was asked for validation. Could have just let a DQ happened, but I like taking my lumps. :)

It probably would have scored in the 4.6 range; there's a lot of distracting elements; the color isn't great, etc.

I didnt' notice the cake falling until I opened it. Nice capture.

Yes the falling cake moment is terrific. It's the type of thing that makes the picture shine!

There's a chance I may do it again. I'm having a sort of out of body week as far as challenges go. No ribbons (I don't think) as I've seen higher scores in the scores threads, but a new PB is on the way!

Twice in two weeks will require quite a severe punishment. Well, come to think of it, now that TS has so many members, just commenting on all the shots -- twice in two weeks -- is pretty severe.

I love your double take entry though! :) I'm glad you left it in.

Big congrats to Kelli, Kelly, and Julianne - lovely shot! And just laughed like crazy when I saw the cake falling!

Couldn't get a cooperative model for Wheres Waldo, may get something in for Burst of Colour...

Started at 5.8, went to 5.2 but have slowly climbed a little. Got a comment from Posthumous! I have a bad entry in Where's Waldo that I will probably leave in (decent pic, but not great for the challenge).

06/23/2007 03:19:22 PM · #1491

I have a mediocre shot in for Waldo that is quite right for the challenge. It really doesn't deserve any better than 4.5. I don't know why I enter these shots that I don't love and won't do well. It does keep me interested in the whole process, so that's good.

I got a nice comment from

Colorcarnival on my Backsides entry. Thank you Michelle. The comment is especially appreciated since the shot currently is hanging on by the fingernails to a 5.0.

I hope it was something constructive and helpful! There were quite a few where I did not really know what to say lol

Well....

I finally met two Team Suck members. Catherine & Jeffrey.

I'm sure she'll hate this, but I thought it was a cool shot of Catherine as she wandered up through the zoo on our way to the next exhibit.

She's just as fun and delightful in person as she is here and I am just thrilled to have met her and spent the day with her.

Jeffrey.......what a terrific guy!

He put this event together and did a bang-up job of it....I'm tired and going to bed or I'd rave for a while, but suffice it to say he's the master of a DPC GTG!

As we speak, he's probably still out doing night shots......

A terrific time was had by all!

Catherine is armed and dangerous. It comes as no surprise. Congrats to everyone on a good GTG - bravo!

My backsides, i.e. not that on which I am sitting, started out at 3.333 after 3 votes and then started to rise all sorts of incrementally little by little until 4 was attained and then 4.1 etc. At 110 votes it cleared 4.7. Then it dipped but it's back over 4.7 again now. Strange to watch.

Jeb, thanks for sharing the photo of Catherine. It is so nice to have a face to associate with all her wonderful words.

Catherine, this would be a great shot for your profile. I already knew you were a beautiful person, but now I see you have a beautiful face as well.

Well, she's certainly more than welcome to it, and I'd be honored if she wanted to use it.

I'm really pleased that the two TS members I met are even nicer in person than the terrific people I've found them to be here.

It just doesn't get any better that that!

Oh, and Julianne.....belated congrats!
