Congraulations to the Week 6 Survivors through Double Take and Free Study:
 ace flyman, andrewt, bspurgeon, EBJones, levyj413, tfarrell23, Trumpeteer4
Original post is updated; I will update the scoresheet after rollover tonight. Good luck to everyone next week!
The comments above about what this challenge has meant to people are wonderful ... heartening to see what a great impact this challenge has had, which is all I hoped for and more.
I'm back and rested up now, so we should be back on track with regular updates .... hopefully for many weeks left to come!

Okay, I'm in shallow DOF, after many variations. I ended up with minimal editing - basically just some rotation and a crop. Never not had to sharpen even a little bit before. Good luck to everyone in this week!

I'm in shallow DOF, and it's getting hammered. It seems I made a bad choice!
Good luck to the final 7. |

It's official and I'm out after 4.3 something in overexposure. It's just as well, seeing I'm so addled I forgot to have anything entered in the next challenges ready for rollover.
It's been a great run - thanks and whoops and hollahs too all involved- Dennis especially.
See ya next time. |

Melethia Congrats on your Blue!
Back over .3 of my average. Still a ways to go, but going in the right direction. |

The more I look at my entry, the less I think of it. So far, the first 5 voters agree, putting me at 5.2.
But it's been fun!

And Then There Were Seven
No one else made it through on the opens, so here are your final 7:
ace flyman, andrewt, bspurgeon, EBJones, levyj413, tfarrell23, Trumpeteer4
Original post is updated. Congrats to all the winners, and all the people who got bounced this week for lasting as long as they did. Particular congrats to  raish for being both the last non-member and the last sub-5.0 average entrant to get bounced, and to Bogi for being the last over-6.0 average entrant to leave.
Good luck to everyone this week! |

It's cool to make it into the top 7, but I'm guessing I'm out after this round. We'll see, but I'm pretty sure.
Edit to say: My score went up almost a full point today, it's looking a bit more hopeful now.

I'll be joining you, Trevor, unless the next 50 voters decide to raise my score by 0.3. I just checked everyone else's averages, and they're rising, so I think there'll be 5 left after this week.

I'll be out with my Shallow DOF entry. I'm at 5.3 and 100 votes. No chance it will get 5.65xx! Maybe I'll send out some care packages to the voters...
It was fun. I'll look forward to the second go around of this tournament. |

| Just managed to get above the 6.2 mark with my product shot, and it still seems to be going up. I think I'm in for next week. |

| I only need .05 more added to my score to make it, so I'm still hoping. |

| I'm 0.4 over at this point. As above, not counting my chickens tell rollover. Challenges for the next round will be a challenge just to come up with something to enter. |

| Dennis, I presume the latest challenge Long Exposure will also be included into the Week 8 round of challenges ? |
|

09/12/2008 06:19:49 AM · #919 |
| That would make sense as I don't think anyone saw another challenge coming this week. :) |

Yep -- Long Exposure counts for week 8. OP updated.
Order of challenges this week is 1. Numbers, 2. Risk/Safety, 3. Long Exposure. First challenge you enter counts, unless you post here before that one starts and select a later challenge for this tourney. If you've lasted this long, you know the drill. Good luck! |

| So, how are we all looking for this week? I've got a 6.2681 on the Product shot, so I think I'll be around for a week to watch my Numbers score. I'm not sure about how it's gonna do, though. Anyone else in for next week already? |
