Well... I did manage to take some last minute photos for Rusted, just in case I do happen to win the Still Life challenge, however, given my utter disgust with how they've turned out, I wont be entering Rusted (am about the unsubmit my entry)... I'm not keen to score sub 4s... been there, done that. :(

I know, right? You have to ask yourself, do I want this in my portfolio? I did just shoot - but shoot. It's not pretty.

Usually if I shoot for a challenge, I enter it even if it won't do well. I don't expect much out of mine, but my average has dropped a chunk recently anyway, so what the heck. However, I have had a few that are just so bad that there's no point! :)

Doing well at 0.3517 over my average. I got my Rusted shot in. It has some flaws as always,.. we'll see....Lol

Edit: Good Luck in round 2!!

Good luck all!

I've been up and down, but am currently sitting at .6963 above my average.


I've moved up a bit since my last post to +0.1625. But with only about 1.5hrs to go I can't see me reaching you unless I get heaps and heaps of 10's (just took a another quick look at my score - nah, not going to happen). Entered a rust shot that I know will get slammed and I have no expectations of it reaching my average. Why even enter it I hear you ask? Well, I'm not really sure except I like it and maybe, some one else out there might like it too. Anyway, good luck and I'll be following your progress during the week of voting.

If you make it to round 2, are you still trying to beat your original average, or the improved one?

Didn't get a shot for rusted. Wasn't too worried about it seeing as you've got me beat.

Thanks, Michelle :) Early indications on my Rusted entry are not favorable... but with three votes, it is (fortunately at this point) hard to tell much of anything!

Congratulations marbro! Your 2nd best score!! Well done and good luck in round 2.

Thanks, Abra, I look forward to see more photos from you in future challenges.
Not sure how my rusted entry will do, it was rushed, as I was call out to fight a forest fire.
it started raining yesterday, and we where able to return home.

Good Luck in Rusted.

How do we know who we're up against this round?
08/23/2010 12:42:42 AM · #294
Looks like Cory lost to Brian, so I'm up against dahlin in the "Rust" challenge. Good luck, Brian!

Mr. fourpoint7, I'm sorry not to have competed with you :-(

5.52am here - I'm up now and will input all results into my spreadsheet and post results and new pairings.

Congratulations to all those who made it through the first round. There were a few non-submissions but in many cases the other photographer beat their own average. Only one match had no submission from either photographer and so the highest current average rule was invoked. To avoid a really long post, the full results are given in the spreadsheet (capture link) at the bottom of the post. Only the winner's names arranged as new matches (for Rusted II) are given below:

MaryO
Idealodds

keenon
gadion

VitaminB
vlado

Kelli
marbro

Trumpeteer4
karmat

dahlin
Bear_Music

ace flyman
blackgriffin

paulbtlw
raish

tfarrell23
cynthiann

dswann
kleski

Yo_Spiff
CJinCA

davidw
SEG

rodfulk
mycelium

LydiaToo
JimiRose

Full results can be found here:



Special mentions to:

VitaminB for the highest placing amongst the players.

and

Trumpeteer4 for the biggest gain over starting average.

Good luck with your Rusted II scores!

Paul, thanks for all your hard work.....just a note, It's marbro, not marbo vs. Kelli

Thanks I've corrected that. it reads wrongly on the spreadsheet too, though I think (hope) I captured the right starting average. I got them all directly from the username links in this thread. I took screen captures too so I can double check when I get back to my computer later (on a mobile device now).

The right username will be on the Round 2 sheet.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Paul
