great to have you back!

i don't think the current challenges this week will count toward WPL as I understand it, I could be wrong... either way regular participation is good and allows practice.

sorry i let you down in round 2 guys... i didn't have a decent entry in time so i figured it better not to enter than to bring down the average... but hopefully this round we'll be firing on all pistons...

i'm in this one and looking for our first win... thanks to those of us who played round 2, good work.

I think nextw eek is our by week. We don't have to enter

I'm not in gold, but I'll find something for the open challenges. Hopefully will be better than my dismal beach entry

no worries, it would have been ok if we had 4 people entered. i should have been the fourth... but let's all try to enter this week and then take the week off to regroup!

Don't forget you still have the two exclusive open challenges that end Tuesday that will count toward week two. So you may get your four scores in.

this is what I had read for week 2 so I thought I was out of luck as I understood it... because I didn't enter any of these three...

I have entered nothing so far - i apologize. i got super busy at work and have taken no 'fun' pics at all for nearly the month of july. i had a plan for gold, but work interfered again.

it doesn't help the challenge topics lately are leaving me cold, or uninspired. color on color - maybe. the other one...afraid of too many DNMCs to try it.

zen. damn it, i'll do zen! have a couple of ideas.

Then i get busier because it's the week before vacation...so if i do enter and it gets a validation request i'm dead meat.

zen will be cool, feel free to shoot it but i don't think it'll count next week as its our 'bye week'. but then again, i could be wrong. it doesn't hurt to enter either way, even if it doesn't count it's good practice.

i have one in for gold which i like alot, also have one in for colour on colour as a back-up.

looking forward to zen.

I'm in "on the beach" and I'm going to enter either the "color on color" or the "color bw" this week.

I am in on the beach (but doing badly!) and will submit for colour/b&w, which will probably also bomb! Seems that even the European GTG cannot affect my scores :-)

I hope to be in for Zen or one of the others coming through this week. However, I am having a radical rethink about my photography post the GTG as it really taught me some serious stuff, aside from taking glamour pictures!

good effort team, though we took a loss. our average was healthy, we didn't lose by much.

we'll get 'em this round.

as I understand it, our 'bye week' (scores don't count for wpl) is week 4, the current posted challenges. So that means you can take a week off if you need to, or enter as usual, which never hurts.

My entry in "B&W in clolour" is totally bombing so I think it is only fair to apologise to the team upfront. I doubt that it will do better than 4.1 or 4.2 but I kind of hoping it will be the one we drop.

Sorry, guys.

my colour on colour is doing quite well, not far off my top score which is not saying much :).

Are we sure zen, action and bits & pieces is our bye-week? i have no ideas at all.
