Way to go Dave, it`s nice to see your in and others are getting there. I`m officially in the morning challenge and I`m very, very happy with it no matter what others think. I went in a direction that I think others will not go. Watch now that I posted that, there`ll be 200 of the same shot :)

MAX!

Ok, so I went out and took a whole pile of shots this evening so I'm hoping that something worked out! Off to have a look....

Jason, I'm sure it will be fine. I don't mind if you had the same idea as me, not that you did or that I know that you did or anything like that but I'm sure if you did, it would be great, no, better then mine and I still wouldn't mind, because that would mean that I had a good idea for once, so good in fact, that you stole it, hey wait a cotton picking minute, did you steal my shot, well I never, in all my years could have imagined that someone as nice as you would go around stealing other people's ideas, well doesnt that beat all. Did someone think to check this guy out before letting him on our team. I don't know how he did it but he managed to do the same shot as me. I've looked all over my office and can't find his video camera, is it one of those little pinhole jobs, Jason, well is it???? Come on confess, where did you hide the camera?

WOW do I feel better now. Don't worry Jason I never hold a grudge, and never one for a team mate who's packin'

Stellar shot by the way, I gave it a 10. Look at the last 3 numbers for that image, 666, spooky. Your shot of you wife in fallen is awesome and should do really well, I have yet to rate the challenge but I looked through the thumbnails and always look at the ones that draw me in, and yours was one of them.

The above rant at Jason was an attempt at humor and is in no way an actual reflection of how I feel about Jason. We promised not to tell anyone that, right Jason.. ;-)~

MAX!

Ricky, you've got it going on girl. Jack, I think you should listen to her she knows what she's saying.

MAX!

lol thanks for the encouragement but I have failed in achieving a shot for any of the challenges. Not even the sp one. I suck. Hope all of yours do well and I hope the 2 new challenges are going to be interesting enough to inspire me into a frenzy of creation. :)

Good luck to all.

Way to go team! Looks like our average is up this week from last week. We are sitting at 5.7009 for this week by my calculations. Congratulations Captain Jack on being our high scorer for the week again! Hopefully this week's challenges will bring some more inspirational topics so we can all try to get something entered.

I just saw your mug in the morning challenge. I wish I had the courage to do SP stuff. Oh well in due time I guess.

Way to go Jason.

Ok, I wanna stop the voting now!!!!! I have 2 votes and a 7.5. That has never happened for me before. I must enjoy it while it lasts as it will probably be way down to the usual level shortly.

The trolls are out. I opened with a beautiful 8 at 1 vote :), then I went down to a 6.5 at 2 votes:), now I'm at 5.4 with 5 votes. Still nice but it sucks to drop that fast. Mine is a shot you need to look at to get what's going on. I guess that's to much for some people.

Oh well I just hope it finishes above my average.

MAX!

Description: Include a rubber ducky in your photograph this week.

Note: Use the photo search to see more examples of duckies.

I got to say. The challenges suck lately. Woodies and duckies, doh! Gonna be a whole lot of quality pics with these two subjects, he says sarcastically. I could take one of these challenges in a week, but both in the same week? They are too close in subject matter I find.

So, I own no duckies nor woodies and I have no intention of buying one.

Aw c'mon Jack. We need your incredible photographic skills to help the team! I can see it now... you visit a dollar store and pick up a pack of little baby rubber duckies (wearing dark glasses and a trench coat so no one will recognize you, of course). Then you make some little duckie size protest signs and line up all your angry duckies in a row for the protest shot....

What do ya think? Can you do it? :)

It'll be the talk of the bird world!
