not looking so good for me...I guess my math isn't adding up to the voters.

I'm fairly certain I'm out this week. Poor Purple Picture :(
08/21/2008 10:42:12 AM · #753
Not looking too promising for me this time....
average is 5.45, sitting at a 5.46 with my door entry. *gulp*

I was uninspired by all 3 of the challenges this week ... and my score is showing it! Unless my score goes up by .4 I'm out after this week ... bummer because I like 'horses' and 'the road less traveled' ...

Week 5 challenges (Horse(s), Abstract B+W, Road Less Traveled) Posting Remindder:

The first challenge you enter this week is the one that counts, unless you tell me otherwise before rollover. See Rule 3. If you enter Horses but want to use one of the Open challenges for this tourney, you need to post here before Sunday rollover. If you want to use Horses, or you don't enter that challenge, you don't need to do anything!

Good luck everyone!

Dennis
Thanks for running this side challenge. It provided me a much needed boost to get shots in each week. I believe my Doors score will not come through to next round as I am 0.25 below my average after 110 votes. Good luck the rest of the way all you above average folks.
08/21/2008 12:42:53 PM · #757
I'm away tomorrow morning and not back till Monday late afternoon/evening. Purple is looking good to stay above my average so guess I need to find time to shoot something for week 5.

The weekly prayer:
Congratulations to the hangers on, condolences to the fallers off, thanks to Dennis and everyone who has kept this running.

Never say die (til you're dead, that is). I'll do my best for the honour of the under fives, but a little company would be nice.

ETA I'm about half a point over average now, so the doors are open for me.

I think I may join you...my score is about 0.1 below my average right now and it seems to be making an upswing to where it was after 20 votes. Now I have to go shoot for next week just in case :-)
08/23/2008 02:27:48 PM · #763
Still looking good for next week: nearly 0.3 over my avg. Now looking for a strangely-shaped B&W horse.
08/23/2008 02:56:03 PM · #764
With a drop of a little less than .1000 in the last 12 hours I'm still above my average; I hope it remains. I do have a good cushion so I may make it to week 4.

Oh, boy, do you owe me. If it comes down to you and me, I'll graciously accept your bowing out. ;)

Looks like it's the Horse challenge for me. Now all I have to do is decide which one of the 3 I'm going to enter. Good chance this will be my last week....Good luck to all

I may end up entering Horse(s), and if I do I definitely do not want it to count. Sign me up for the opens this week.
08/24/2008 04:42:08 PM · #769
Nathan,,,shot you over a pm.....Thanks
08/24/2008 10:12:08 PM · #770
Less than two hours before rollover, and my Mathematics shot just dipped below my average for the first time since voting started. The good news is that I went with my purple shot for this challenge which is still hanging out about .4 above my average. :)

Looking toward the first week 4 rollover, I wish all y'all a bunch of luck! This has been a very inspiring side challenge and I find myself putting forth a lot of effort that I normally wouldn't. (Speaking of. . . I have an idea for the B&W Abstract. . . . I just need to execute it!)

Yep. Mine had clawed its way over 6, and just got hit with a string of 4s and 5s. Still plenty over my average, though, so my B&W Abstract is already in. :)

Good luck to everyone still in it!
08/24/2008 10:32:51 PM · #772
Well, if my Math adds up (still .05 under my avg) i'll have one of the open challenges count as my entry. Thanks

No luck! I'm out...thanks for the fun everyone. Best of luck to the rest.

Congratulations to the five survivors who made it through to week 5 out of Mathematics ΓΆ€“ freakin_hilarious, liberty, levyj413, Judi, and MAK. And a special congrats to freakin_hilarious for taking the blue with this shot:
.

Condolences to our first victim of the week, DarkRider ΓΆ€“ you had a great run; hope to see you back for BTA II!
08/25/2008 01:20:38 AM · #774
This is getting better by the week, not to mention harder. Thanks EstimatedEyes for keeping the BTA running. It's a lot of fun.
But I do often wonder how many weeks it will take till a winner is crowned? I place my bet on the 12th week!
08/25/2008 05:36:29 AM · #775
YAY! I made it... I did have a horse shot but tried a re-edit and just hated it even more and eventually pulled it. So my shot for B&W Abstract will count for this contest this time (as well as Olympics last week)
