 Lots of options without using a weapon..  |   
 
 Thanks, I initially had the same thoughts as   Kroburg |

 Anti-gun picture with guns?
 Going to the gym to work on the guns?
 Gun With the Wind? |

		I loveee guns and and am a gun enthusiast, my mind is just racing to figure out how to get this shot in..
 
 What about water pistols? |

		You better watch out,   SaraR. I'll be bringing in the BIG GUNS. 
 
 (honestly, I have no idea what to do for this. We might have an old water pistol somewhere here...) |

		I hope you're bringing your A game Henk.  Got my entry in up. ;)
 
 Seriously. Had a hard time shooting for this one.  Have no clue how the masses will rate this one. |

 Good luck ... at least you shot something you like.  (Bad choice of words for a gun challenge).
 
 I'm in, I don't much like it, and I am pretty sure it will get panned.  Actually I had two like that and couldn't decide which I liked least.  :-)  As long as Patsy enters, pretty sure she will move on to round 2. |

 It's just as well; frees him up to concentrate on challenge administration and dispute arbitration :-)  |   
 
 Looks like you'll probably move on - my great ideas ran out of time.  Now, I'm nowhere near a computer.  It would take a miracle to pull a shot out now. |

		| I have an entry in as well.  I am happy with the shot but not the processing.  Hopefully I will have a bit of time to polish it up tonight. |

		| Mark - Put the polish away!  I have enough pressure ;-)  My shot is in as well but I believe it's going to be a love or hate it shot.  Good Luck! |

 Oh, I know very well how my image will be received. But getting a very low score can be ok as well, it's all about the difference with your average, both positive or negative. Or do I make a mistake in thinking this way? |

 I've been so busy with work and buying a house/selling a house, I had zero time for any photography the past month so getting a low score is what I've pretty much earned lately! |

		An Expert challenge for the next round. That's a curve ball.
 
 Remember you won't know whether yo've won the Guns round or not until after Guns rollover - so, we'll all need to shoot for the Avatar challenge. |

		I don't do 'Avatar' self-portraits and not a fan of 'Expert' challenges anyway, so I hope you crush me this week Cynthia (  cynthiann) and move forward.     
 
 Otherwise (should I get lucky and advance to round two) it will be an automatic 'bye' week for whoever I'd be paired with. |

		I don't plan on doing the avatar challenge either..
 
 Different angle
 I just may throw something out there for fun just to learn lighting and composition just for the heck of it..
 and giving me a chance just to take pictures of something.

		I hate guns, I hate making avatars, but (sometimes) it's fun doing things you don't like and (luckily) it will not become by default your avatar. 
 
 And with a little luck I can beat the score of my last self portrait :)
