Ya, that is what I am going to do. I just hid one, and am going to enter it. Unless I can find something better.

Entered Best of 2006 with aout 30 seconds to spare. I probably shouldn't have bothered. :oP I spent all week trying to decide what to submit and in the end randomly selected a photo that hadn't been displayed in my portfolio. Ah well..tis a learning experience, yes?

allright guys,
i started working on those cards,
so "hopefully" by next weekend i should have them ready.

i 've been super busy lately, so i have not entered new challenges , hopefully starting this week things will get better.

currently my best of 2006 is doing good, well i am not sure how good a 6.5 is in this challenge , but i am not complaining, it's higher than my average and it's going to help me boosted up a little bit.

I don't know how good 6.5 will be in the 2006 challenge either, but 33 comments and 5 favorites sounds good to me!

I have a shot in match right now, and it was doing well until a few hours ago :P It dropped .07 in about 4 hours, so maybe once everyone is done being grumpy about their teams not making it to the superbowl, they'll vote nicer :P I'm still not complaining though... it's a good score :)

Can't wait to see the cards!

Below average in this challenge for sure, but my best score yet in any best of/freestudy, so that's cool. My title seems to be bothering some people, but I'm thinking they're not quite understanding what I mean by it. Hehee!

Been pretty busy preparing for my big move to the States, but I plan on entering either the minimalism or full frame challenge.

When do we start?

usually a 6.3 with 42 votes is a 6 :)

so good job!

i guess all of us are charging up for the WPL :) our average in the last challenges is def. above 5.5 which i think is pretty good!!!

i 'll be going picture hunting this weekend since i had not had the time to take any shots since my last entry.

that's normal , it might slide down, but then it will go up, what i don't get, is that it seems always that bad voters vote together and good voters vote together, so you see it going down for a while, then going up. again a 6.22222 is not bad at all:)

01/26/2007 12:11:49 PM · #241

LoL True 'nuff. :o) I'm going to stop watching for a while...don't wanna jinx it. ;o)

I also want to thank Zaflabout and Neophyte for your comment on my best of entry. :o) Brightened my day!

01/26/2007 09:38:27 PM · #242

All last week I was wishing the WPL had already started as I watched my Match score bounce around. I was SHOCKED when it ended up in 4th place! It was funny though that a D50 team member left me a nice comment saying they were interested in a print. It should be available soon :P

I only have one shot in currently... for Minimalism. It's at a 5.8, which is at least higher than my average.

And I agree with zaflabout... seems like voters vote in blocks. All the higher voters, then the lower ones, then back again. Your score seems like a pretty solid 6 Brielle... and already 6 comments! Try not to break that update button! ;)

And so it begins. Our first obstacle is Team Lucky Pants... I've an entry in Shallow DOF II (But it looks like so does everyone else on the sight.) Good luck.

The WPL only starts with the challenge announced on Sunday night at rollover.. which is personification. So the score for Shallow DOF won't count towards it. But good luck anyway! :)

well, i guess my streak is over, my table top shot is at 5.48.
it's an average score, i was hoping for better.
but this is my resolution to always beat my average, and so far i am heading that direction.

I know it doesn't count, but my DOF II is:
