		You have rated 65 of 65 images (100%) in this challenge.
 You have given an average score of 6.4308.
 
 I gave 5 9's and 5 10's as well as several other high scores but those 10 shots were truly spectacular. This is the best challenge in awhile. |

		I didn't enter this challenge even though I'm the one who suggested it together with description some time ago. I really wanted to enter but couldn't force myself to take a picture. Anyway, the entries are actually depressing. The challenge wasn't too easy IMO. Well done everyone! I'm very glad this challenge finally happened.

 I hadn't known that you had suggested it when I suggested it a month or so ago -- so they took it and added it to your thread. So I probably should have said "last time I bump something depressing." ;) |

		Yes Wendy, I bumped it when   skewsme posted link to this thread in your thread. And you said something about it but then your thread disappeared. Anyway I was glad the idea was revived. So thanks :) |

 I'd say "my pleasure", but I posted in the mist of a particularly bad depressed day...
 
 So... umm... my displeasure? :)
 
 Anyway, I thought it would be interesting, as well. I'm really sorry you didn't shoot for it. I would have loved to see what you came up with. I think my problem was I wasn't that depressed when shooting. :) |

 Thanks. Hopefully I'll get to use my idea some other time. I had too much going on this time. |

 I know the feeling. I ended up with a 10 minute shot for a challenge that I really wanted to shoot well. I probably should have held on to my idea... But it was fun anyway. :) |

 Do you even know what a "smithereen" IS? And are they a component of bears? |

 Why sure I do.  Smithereens are the droppings left by a bear after it eats Smith and Doreen - and of course they're (now) a component of bears! |

 Yes. I thought of using the original form: (from Irish smidirÃnÃ), but I figured people might recognize smithereens more than smidirini... :)
 
 And I figured you'd probably hire Cory to help blow things to smithereens.
