| Well, I am on my 4th choice for best of 2007. I can't figure out what is my best shot. I have really clear and precise ones that are boring, I have interesting and lovely images that aren't perfectly focused, I have always some issue with anything I look at. Well, hopefully the last one will be my final choice. Anybody else struggling with trying to get an image that will not only please them, but also voters? |

I didn't say they were good. That is why I am having so much trouble. I just don't want to get another 13% placement. I will be happy with 30%. |

I kept having to change because I kept discovering I didn't have the orignal. D'oh!
I'm particularly bummed about this little guy who has sat in my workshop for five months.
I don't think that would have come in the Top 25, but I always liked it. |

| Entered one and never looked it back after it. might score 4.x or 5.x but ultimately that was the subject i wanted to enter, so it is in. |

It would have still done pretty well. After seeing this image, I don't feel so bad about mine. I was trying for landscapes, but you know, landscapes have got to be the hardest to deal with. Too many have come before. Anyway, I am itching to start voting. I haven't done much voting lately, but I always vote 100% on Best of. Let's hope I can this year as well. |

| I had one I had been saving from April, but just didn't think it would do that well when all was said and done. Swapped today...having more thoughts about reverting to that April shot....agonising! |

| Kept editing and re-analyzing, but I finally decided and uploaded something. It's one I think is really good, but it probably does not have the broad appeal needed to come in high. Should at least get me some interesting comments. |

| I choose mine (one that I had in mind as I really like it)and spent a bit of time on PP. Submitted it and have gone back a couple of times to see if I still like it. YUP it can stay there! |

None.. I looked at my pictures, and honestly I decided to put my LAST SHOT of the year for my best... not because others are bad, but this one is special too :)
I probably the only one who never changed the entry for Best of 2007? |

Cheer up Doc. It's "cute" but it's a curiously flat image. I doubt it would have cracked top 50, let alone 35...

| Heck, my best image won a blue ribbon in 2007. I had fifty other shots of the same subject but they all looked alike. I figured it wouldn't do well because lots of people would recognize it. :( |

| I've not had a lot of time to change my mind as I've only just memberised myself, but I love the shot I entered too much not to put it in there. If it doesn't do amazingly c'est la vie but I couldn't morally do it to myself to change it! You've got to be you, and this shot is all me ;-) |

HA! I only have one to enter and it's not interesting enough, I'm sure. But...gotta give it a try. If I score at or above my average...I have made an attempt, lol! (Watch it get the brown...groan!) :P |

| I have known what I wanted to enter since the moment i saw it on my screen months ago. I have had second thoughts of changing it because I know it may be too subtle for the voters and I have been psyching myself up for the 5.3 for my favorite alltime shot. In the end the score doesn't matter though. |
