I guess you should be thankful it's not a BAD shot!

The shot for this challenge is way better than the only other challenge I have entered. But for some reason it is barely beating the score I got on that one.

There are many shots I voted 10 on and realized that everyone else voted it way low.

Good luck, folks.

I had a hard time picking a photo for this. I submitted and withdrew two shots before submitting the final entry. I have shots I like better but I was trying to actually score somewhat high so I went with a popular type of subject matter. I had a few variations of the shot and I went with the my husband's suggestion instead of my first choice. At the last minute I changed my mind and wanted to submit a different one but it needed a bit of work. I just didn't have the time. My score started out really low at first--my lowest ever at 3.0---but it is steadily climbing to my usual range. :-D I'm glad that now I can add some shots to my portfolio that I've been withholding in case I decided to use them for this challenge.

My one comment so far was a fairly neutral, 'nice shot, good luck' kind of thing.
I think some people will suffer from thumbnail voting on this entry because there are so many to vote on. I'm proud to say that I actually voted on them all, including revisions in which I upped the scores of several photos. I voted pretty generously on this challenge.

My June Free Study is doing much worse than I thought it would, around 4.6 now. The only comment on it is positive so I don't know why. Since it is one of my favorite pictures ever I don't really mind that much.

I've got one challenge at 6.24 and another carrying my first 7+ score, so I'm a happy camper. :-D

I'll bet I could click the update button with my monitor turned off by now.

7.04 in the Portrait challenge, but I'm sure there are two entries scoring even higher. Even if I can't snag some yellow pixels, I'll still be thrilled to top 7 (assuming it holds). That's been a major goal, and I didn't expect this shot to be the one.

UGH!

Oh well, a couple of comments
"Fantastic shot - 10" and "This is the best use of effects on a picture that I have seen in a long time, great job" lay truth to it not being everyone's style.

Oh well, I love it and that's what counts!
(At least I voted almost every single entry in this challenge higher than mine is sitting - great job all.)

Now where's my brown ribbon ?
