What is wrong with you people! My 'grace' entry is one of my very best pictures, but the score is in the low 4s! Nobody appreciates great art around here!.


Oh - the voting doesn't start until tomorrow ?

Thought I'd just get in early, save the trouble.

what happened to your tagline? :-))

I just could see how it fit the challenge.

Interesting notion there Gordon.

One has to wonder though, if photos have to be taken during a set time .... should rants have a similar limit ;)

But I do have to agree with Trinch here, yes it was a very graceful ballet hippo indeed, but as it was wearing a green tutu I just didn't think it really met the challenge.

Yes, agree. Also, no real 'wow' factor.

You might want to calibrate your monitor. The hippo is not a ballet dancer... but some sort of sumo wrestler-thingie.

I certainly don't appreciate art!

Unless it's a velvet painting of Elvis Presley. Then I'm all over it!!

Hey, give me a break bamaster, it's early morning here, coffee hasn't kicked in, and eyes are not ready to focus!

(hehehehehe, just LOVE that hippo animation!)

We do need more velvet paintings of elvis magnetic, I do so hope there's a few of them in the Grace challenge :)

We have borders which replicate that effect.

Let's all give him a 5. I have a feeling, that's just the rating to get under his skin. ;-)

In the same vein, I'm a little concerned since my Grace shot has just been DQd.

Didn't make through the new 'Art Is Dead' filter probably.

It's an illegal filter, Jon.

In about 6 hours, the second martyr of St Augustus, considered as the expert on grace, is about to begin.

Not quite zeuszen .... we need to all give him a 5, except ONE person who gives him a 4, so the end score will actually be 4.9999 and he won't quite make the 5 ;)

And yes jjbeguin ....... we definately have a martyr in the making here. Maybe we should burn him at the stake like Joan of Arc ;)

bamaster, you just made my day with the hippo animation. I almost peed my pants how hard I was laughing. amazing what people can do with animation programs.

personally I like the smack brittany one the best.
Can we have that as sight improvement.

smack the trolls with a greased salami game?

OK, I'm ready for 3.23322342325234523 in the grace challenge,

I have an evil plan! (mmwwwahhhhaaaa!!!!!!!)

The moment the next challenge ends, I am going to instantly give EVERYONE a 10! They will all get this initial feeling of "wow, look how well I am doing!".

An hour later I'll change EVERYONE to a 1 ..... their hopes dashed on the rocks as their scores plummet (and remember, at this point there will be very few votes, and one just dropped from 10 to 1).

Later on in the challenge, when there have been lots of votes, I'll revote and give correct scores, but by then the effect will be less.

Oh, I just love it!

*grin*
