LOL! Thanks. Here's an example... this is unedited, it will give you an idea of what I have to work with. What do you think of using the liquify tool to produce a smile? ROFL

Okay......lemme see if I got this straight.
She can't be bothered to smile or wear a clean top, yet you're supposed to make her look good?
How?
Tell her she owes you another $475 for wasting your time. |

Interestingly I entered a shot that I would normally bitch about, well not totally cause mine is a bit different and better than the ones I bitch about (IMHO), but I hope I enjoy being on the other side of the fence. Time will tell. :)

This is my Black in White in Color I thought 4's so I'm doing good. I feel like a junkie trying really hard to be clear and sober. I've been off the puter all day long it's late I go on to "check e-mail" and come here to see not so much that it is sucking but why by the comments left, but alass it falls in the box, of middle of the road. I've notice that great shots get alot of comments and bad shots get them also. Middle of the road not so much. Okay just a small rant and remember posting and drinking don't always mix. |

I agree totally. My B&W in colour is actually slightly rising and is at 5.65, when I predicted a 5.25 for it, however it has only 5 comments. Of those 3 of them think that the frame is tilted, which it is not. Luckily I do not believe in pm'g folks when they comment and are wrong during the challenge. However when it is over I will make sure my own post on the image states that it is not. LOL Ok, my drinking rant is done now.

Lea, I hope things turn around and quickly!
Kelli, I'm sorry the wedding thing didn't work out, and I'm especially sorry the friend-of-a-friend didn't work out. It's a tough situation.
Karen: you know what you're doing and your portfolio clearly demonstrates that you choose your style. Which tells me you could enter shots (and have in the past) that score highly. Which tells me your shot is probably something artsy I'll like. :)

| I have three entries showing with scores currently turned off. I must say that they look much better that way. And I'm pleased with all three. I like what I see. :-) |

| Sorry to see that, Karen. I will try to get to the Free Study later today, though I'm a bit unsure of the commenting thing these days. So many people seem to complain about it so much! Ah well, I can't really vote well without commenting, though. I'm voting color on color today and there are some excellent entries there - but I'm not commenting on that one. I'll catch the Suckers who entered after the challenge. Hope to get to B&W in Color as well. I wanted to go out and shoot, but we have a lovely windstorm and I'm a wimp. :-) |

I'd really love for my Pet to break 5... Col is a bit boring though people seem to like the pretty colours. I am really fired up for Led Zep though. I don't even like their music that much, but think I may have a new homepage shot! Now to work on Tilting, at windmills perhaps, as that's how most of my stuff ends up...
and boysetsfire's pic seems to show one freshly hatched, it still has the little bracelet on its wrist :-)
