		I'm neglecting my babies.  These two did me proud:
 
  
 
  
 
 The one in between those two DID make this thread for some reason... |

		I don't do well in the free studies but this one surprised me.  Thank you to all the commentors and those that chose it as a favorite.
 
  
 
 eta:  It's also my first 7+ and I didn't even get a ribbon!

 My first blue and a new personal best! I couldn't be happier! Is there a worlds tiniest violin thread for almost getting a 7? Somehow I don't think anyone is going to feel sorry for me. :) |

 I'm in Clovis, NM right now but will be back near the lake on Saturday.  All I would need is a cool morning with a little fog and I'm in.  I didn't think I really had any kind of style or preference of shots but apparently foggy shots are my forte since my top 4 scores are all foggy lake shots.  Who knew!

		Mine is a more modest PB with a 5.9487. Sooo close to that first 6 I was aiming for!
 
  
 
 Anyway, was a big step out of my comfort zone, and was actually very happy with the end result. Got penalized with my choice of PP, but one learns! |

 Went and peeked and that was a big jump, congratulations.  I hope that your next jump takes you to the mid 6 range. |

 Well, I had to remove my 7+ without a ribbon from my bio. |

 Personal best and first ribbon. Extremely happy. However, I can't help feeling I got a bit lucky with this shot. I guess time will tell. |

 Just barely but I made it, but still no elusive 7. Good news is if I top this PB then it will have to be a 7. |

 Or your next one could be a 6.9705 :)
 
 I think it is only a matter of time before you break a 7, you do very nice work. |

		Ok... I'm so excited!! It's been close to 2 years since my last PB. I didn't think that I'd ever be able to top it!
 
  
 
 See you again in 3 years. :D |

 Here is the original un-edited photo

 My first above 6 entry.  WOOT.  Really made the voting period tense as it bounced above and below six all week.  Got some great comments, and as I'm sure I won't be equalling this score again any time soon, I will relish in my current "six-ness"  : )
