Joseph

Dirt_Diver has offered me a head to head in the November FS, am guessing that means he has a stonking submission but sadly (for him) I just submitted my best shot of the year!

The bet is $25 and if I win it will go to charity, Joseph came back and will do the same (many thanks Dirt). So, the financial winner will be Rose, who will be the challenge winner?

Lets start some trash talk cos dirt is going to dive and eat some!

Best of luck to the both of you :o) And Joseph, thanks for being such a good sport :o)

I'd be happy with a 7 but we'll see. I have a good image but it's not really DPC strong. I just hope that DPC will see beyond what they normally see and give me that great score.

Besides I'm not much of a trash talker but I can't wait to kick some ass. hahahahahaha

Andi, unless your entry is of an epic mid-air battle between an eagle and an owl with blood falling into a pond of water creating one of those classic Irene water drops with your reflection in the drop and a beautiful sunset in the background, I'll be sorely disappointed.

Uh oh... Having recently met

Dirt_Diver and seen him with this sign... I think

Ecce Signum might want to reconsider...

Thanks giving away my shot. Now I need to reshoot it because Andi and I might have the same image.

I had actually posted you with the first sign... I've corrected it now, Joe... with the second one you posed with. *grin*

I have a shot like that set up for December, except in the reflection of the waterdrop is the American flag, and it takes place in Iceland with a really cool Northern Lights thing happening.

Things are not looking good for me. HOWEVER my MFS is doing MUCH better. hahaha

Well it looks like I might be the one donating as I already suspected... I am now below a 6

Ouch! that said a few decent votes can really swing the average at this early stage, just dropped a full tenth with one vote!

12/02/2008 02:12:10 PM · #24

Its awfully quite in here!

dipped below the 6 mark briefly today and wonder if/when I will get to the 50 vote mark.
