		| | So this is my best for the month.  I do have to admit it is far better than my best for last year. 
 Knitting.  I need to take up knitting.  But I suck even worse at knitting, believe it or not!

 Try crocheting; I think it's easier ;-). But don't you dare give up photography!

		| | A little disappointed.  Was thinking this was more mid/high 5's. Maybe it will drift up...

		| | This is the first challenge I have entered in a long time... I'm pulling an even 6. If everyone voted like I did, that would mean it's slightly above average.

		| | I actually am feeling very foolish right now.  This shot is well on its way to being my lowest score ever.  And that's in the low 4 range.  I really wish folks would leave (constructive) comments - it would help a lot. |

 Could be my 3rd 6+ score out of my last five entries, pretty good for me.   And if not for the DNMC nature of my Meme shot it would be a 6+ also IMHO.

 Can't crochet.  Was a fair quilter once upon a time, but that was ages ago.
 
 But my FS has improved significantly.  Now all the way up to 5.4231!
 
 Oh, wait.  That's a drop.  Never mind.

 Yup, same here. Half a point in 7 votes.

		| | First challenge back in more than a year and a half.   Have to say while there are some great shots in there, there is also quite a significant number of duds.   As a general observation, I was amazed how many Free Study submissions were shot in the mid-day sun, burned out highlights, horribly over-saturated / over sharpened / vignetted / high structure, etc, poorly composed (distracting elements, crooked horizons on landscapes, etc).   Also, notice some members still blatantly  shooting exact same thing 2 years later...does it not get boring? or is that a strategy for buddy / sympathy votes?   As for as scores, same story as the other folks here....started ok, took a dive day 1.  Same 'ol fun :) |
