Well, darn it, Kristina! You're supposed to be doing better! I've got nothing to shoot for Adams. But oddly, I'm doing really well in Symmetry. Total surprise, by the way.

Hey there

nickyb, please tell me you are kicking butt in Symmetry as I expect you are?

As much as I would love to shoot for Ansel Adams, it will be difficult for me to get out of the city before it's over. But I don't want to leave someone without a match in the next round if by chance I am pulling off a miracle here and will get at least something in- if I need to?
It seems my score wants to be about .2 below my average.

I hate trying to duplicate someone else's work especially someone like Adam's. I am having a tough time trying to find an image that I think works and that would score well. I live in one of the flattest area's in the US and all that keeps coming to mind is all Ansel's beautiful mountain/Yosemite scenes which will undoubtedly get higher marks than anything I can find.

If I can somehow beat Paul I hope that my next challenger has as rough of a time getting something for this one as I am or I don't stand a chance right now. This is killing me. Hopefully something will fall in my lap in 4 days.

You can do very well with an Ansel-type zone system BW processing opf an image like this one:

Don't give up hope. Just look for rich detail and strong tonalities, and make 'em sing! I don't live anywhere near mountains and I have done OK in AA challenges.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I had already planned to visit the area that was shot in Saturday so hopefully I find something.

I'm not going to enter Ansel then. My 5.8 will not hold up.

Good Luck Paul.

Yes. If he's lying that would be pretty rude and not help him at all so I don't see why he would. Also, a 7 is not unfathomable for him and I am having a difficult time with the Ansel challenge.
