It's not going to stay above 5.0000, so I may as well post this, too!

Yeah, he quit sucking some time ago. About the time he started selling billboard sized prints and having his own shows and stuff. And scoring chains of 6s and stuff... Do we keep him?? :-)

Hmm ... could be a bit like throwing the baby, the tub and the bathwater all out of the window at once. Then we'd have to go outside for a bath.

On a serious note, the emergence from whatever-it-was to the sort of reliable and consistent self-expression now coming from the likes of Deborah and Jeborah is pretty to watch. And the same goes for the unnamed sucking throng, of course.

This unnamed, sucking thronger has 3 images in voting right now, including a Free Study, and all below 5.5 :-( I can understand it with "religion", I can accept it with "polka dots", but the FREE STUDY? I agonized over which masterpiece to enter, I just *knew* any one of them was guaranteed to win the hearts and minds of the voters, and THIS happens? (Sobs disconsolately...)

I'm having the same feeling about the FS. How could people not love and appreciate my amazing shot? It's just inconceivable to me! My religion shot is boring and lacks any thought whatsoever, and the scores are really close.

Ah, Robert, we all know it is indeed a masterpiece. As is mine, but it will not reach the lofty heights of the upper-5 realm. I am, however, DELIGHTED to report it has reached the mid 5s! This was totally unexpected. And I am still pleased with my choice, thankyouverymuch! :-)

Hello Suckers, it has been a long time! I have discovered after about a year's absense from photography, with a few shots now and again, that I have not improved with age, lol! I'm sucking along in FS with a 5.55 with a photo I felt reasonably sure would hit the low 6's.

12/01/2009 12:37:51 PM · #1295

Hey Catherine! I'd not worry if I were you - seems to me you have done very well photography-wise in the real world. :-) Good to hear from you!!

Hey Deb! Not so well lately in the photography world, as the focus on my camera is broken (has been for months) and I attempt to rely on kind-of manually focusing, which occasionally works but not too often, lol! Am saving up for new camera. Still selling rooster photos to restaurants, though. Nothing like a photo of a big rooster makes you want to eat chicken! Hey, whatever makes them happy...

BTW - some of you suckers have taken some pretty dam fine photos as of late! Colleen

skewsme that is an awesome photo of the tree in 'centered composition'. Sorry I didn't vote. You would have had another 10.

Welcome back Catherine! Good to see you back in the fold and sucking along nicely :-) (hugs)

Remember the rule of scores in FS...you would get at least .5 of a point higher in a challenge other than FS. So don't feel too bad.

I should have known that shot would come back to haunt me!

I like this one SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better!

Then there's always this one, where Jeb got a little confused about how to actually eat...
