Tamron SP AF 24-135mm f/3.5-5.6 AD Aspherical IF for Canon

There's been a lot of mention of 2s and 3s and 4s, primarily because of a sudden new mentality that THIS challenge, for some stupid reason, deserves special attention to DNMC. Seems they are "requiring" an emotion, and voting LOW if there's no emotion in their opinion. DNMC cops from heck.

Edit - it's this thread.

I don't see the competition being too stiff from Personification, but I bet Good and Bad will have some killer scores, because they're pretty open as far as challenge interpretation. We better be on our A game; Untouchables will be tough here. (Judi, thegrandwazoo, timfythetoo, Qart, SJCarter, and several others with impeccable qualifications...)

It's always fun drawing the reigning champ in the first round...

I'm posting this because it looks like a good start to bad, don't think it will stay this way.

I'd love to see a 5.3 right now.

Gakk. Two entries; both under 5.

Sorry, gang. I guess I should have joined Team Suck and not clogged up a good team.

Don't sweat it. I'm certainly not leading by example either at this point. :/

I've found that personally I'll hit streaks (hot & cold)...unfortunately I had a nice hot streak just prior to WPL4 kickoff. Now to shake off this cold streak!!!

This will sound cliche-ish, but having fun using your camera and having personal satisfaction in what you enter, should still be the driving force for participating here.

Ok, sure high scores are fun, and so is winning - just keep at it and we're sure to have our moments! :D

It's okay, you'll pull something out of your hat :) I can see it now: We are down to the last challenge and it is for the season championship, we all shoot our best entries and submit them, and lo and behold, who should win but

nards656!! There to save the day!!! :)

LOL, probably not exactly like that, but you get my point :)

Just have fun and to heck with everything else :) And on the bright side, there IS the April GTG to look forward to :-D

I just hate to let everybody down and be the guy with the lowest score all the time as well as the lowest average anyway.

It is, indeed, more important to have fun, but turning in a good score for the team sure would be nice. Not my lot this time, though. I just hope we have 4 over 5.5.

Y'all keep up the good work :)

Team... bad news from me... I laid down with my daughter last night when I put her to bed at about 6:30 and fell asleep. Normally, my wife will come wake me up if I do fall asleep, but she decided that I needed the sleep last night and didn't wake me up. I didn't get my photo entered... I apologize...

On a positive note... my Personification has made a comeback and is sitting at a 6.003... hopefully, it will continue to rise...

Nice score for Personification based on what I'm reading in various threads. Hooray!

You're forgiven, unless, of course, the shot would have been another "Temptation" score....
