I'm here, too. I'm kind of disappointed with my landscape score. It was at 6.47 2 days ago, and now it's 6.36. Just hope it doesn't drop anymore in the next 7 minutes!

Don't know what people will think of my reflections entry. Could go either way!

Well congrats!
A Second personal best!!
6.36

Good placement in a large, tough field, way to go!

Great job, guys!

How's everyone looking on the open challenges? Methinks my long exposure score will have no problem beating my reflections score. Around a 5.2 at the moment.

Unfortunately, I only have 1 entry in this week - reflections, and so far, it ain't pretty. Not only that, but I had to validate my entry!!!

2 consecutive weeks with good scores, and now this. :(
I hope everyone else can cover for me.

We are doing a brilliant job of lulling them all into a false sense of security...

I'm at 4.7 in Neon, almost a personal low...

I am sorry, team....I am hoping Black and white inspires me!

Right now, I am not thrilled at all - my images are hovering the 5 on both challenges. BTW, I never seen so few comments: 3 all together. Maybe it's the WPL?

How did it go for everyone today? My score on reflections is slowly crawling out of a hole. I'm up to 5.1 (yuck) and have 1 fav (woo woo!)

Well I am a complete write off here in week one :( I am still at an all time low score.
I did just get a comment in the "NEON SIGNS" challenge...get this..

"This is not art it is a neon sign" and judging from the score I think this person gave me a one....

I read the description again, as I am anal about not getting DNMC, and it says...take a picture where a neon sign or signs, is the subject.

Now thats sweet!

Come on Black and White!!!!!

My Long Exposure score is hangin' tight at a 6.0299.
My Reflections is still less than that, but up a bit to 5.4094.

Don't sweat the low scores this week guys. Get out there and shoot some crazy stuff for next week!

Good job! We'll keep our fingers crossed for continued movement upward.

My reflections entry is now at 5.2 with 7 comments and 1 fav.

My reflections shot is at a 5.4 (only one comment, but also one favorite), but my long exposure is barely holding a five. I don't think the voters like my subject matter. As for the new speed challenge, why couldn't it be one that counts for WPL??? I think I can get a really good one, but I wish the score would count for our team. I woke up super early today and when I saw that there's an HDR challenge I had to wake up Nathan. He loves HDR!!!

Good luck to all on your entries, and also on the black and white challenge.

No kidding - you would have done well with this subject. I was reading the thread last night aout HDR, and ran across your picture "After the Rain". The colors are amazing in that picture and the clouds really stand out.

Well, I'm submitting black and white and now have an idea for spots. My reflections is now at 5.3.

does anyone have one for an open challenge? I've got one for the headwear that's kind lame but i'll enter it just to keep the scores from dropping if I need to. I noticed that if we don't have at least 4 entries per challenge we get slammed by averaging in the zeros.

11/13/2006 11:57:19 PM · #168

But you only have to enter 1 challenge per week. I have a reflections entry, so we will have at least 4 scores (1 each from our top 4 team members scores) to average this time round.

Yes I apologize..I missed a week, but I thought that the Open challenges (neon) counted towards week one...
And still not a peep from Willagher...
My BW is sitting at a sad 5.4...but I have something for spots

Hope springs eternal!!

Neon counts Rae. Scott just posts the mid week stats. Week one ends tomorrow. :-)

Thanks Eric!
