This thread is meant to be lighthearted...! For the last 20 months my top scoring image has been this one.

Kiss

Score - 7.3611

Until now. Damion (my husband) and also the model for that image has just been pushed down to second notch...by our daughter, Kita, in this image.

Fairytopia

Score - 7.803

There is now a challenge going on in my house because Fairytopia's comments are about to surpass Kiss. So not only does Damion lose his position in the score...but also the comments. So the two of them are watching very closely as the comments are being challenged. Damion, who makes me cappacinos all the time is now telling Kita that she had better start learning how to make a cappacino...cause when she overtakes his comments...it will become her job.

This thread may mean nothing to you all...but I thought I would let you in on a bit of the fun behind the scenes.

So who do you want to win in this challenge...Kiss...or Fairytopia? You decide!

Hahahaha...that's funny. I am not doing this to push comments....I am flattered with what the images have received. I was just trying to show a bit of the fun behind it...and if you want to join in...then go for it.

Actually... I'm likely doing you a favor. Does Kita make cappuccino as well as Damion?
Do you really think you'll get them as often ? ;O)

Actually, to be honest, Kita is getting a little worried....she doesn't know how to make cappuccino....much to Damion's delight! I personally think they are both a little vain...so it is quite humurous to sit back and watch this duel unfolding...lol!

Good God, that's a toughy!

What to do??? Good luck! Maybe kick both of them a lil pre-xmas gift to keep 'em going!

Personally, I'm for the kid! Go Fairytopia... the kiss shot is a classic!

Hahaha.....I fixed that problem. On my previous Capa maker...I used to make great Capa's...but now I have this large red Cappacino maker...and (with finger in the cheek and bashful look on my face!!) I just cannot seem to make a very good Cappucino with it. Hehehehehehe!! Wink, wink!!

I bought the Nikon purely for the IR work. I have done IR on the Canons but only the Nikons have the ability for the colored IR. I haven't got it converted because Kita likes to use the Nikon for normal photography.

Hehehehe....I am being sneaky. Damion is in the middle of his shifts...so I haven't told him...so I am still getting wonderful Cappa's. When he finishes shift I will tell him...then he can teach Kita...lmao!
