Survival of the Fittest: Wildlife Scores

I'm a little disappointed by 11 of my 17 comments so far, which demonstrate either they don't get it, or I can't tell a story wtih a photo. Since it's such a high number of comments, I suspect I've failed in getting my story across to a significant percentage of voters.

Sadly, I simply must suck.

bennettjamie - You might want to revise your post. From the voting rules...
You may not: discuss any entry in the forums while voting is in progress

There's a good tutorial on resizing. Look under the "Learn" section.

Just so everyone knows....my wildlife photo is TOO SMALL! I don't need anymore comments saying "It's too small".

Look at it this way, there are a bunch of people trying to be helpful because they have no way of knowing whether you knew about the size options when you submitted AND they can't see all the other comments saying the same thing. And they must have thought there was some potential there or they wouldn't have wanted to see it bigger. There are worse comments you could get, doncha' think?

Mine's holding steady at 6.96.

Happy -- but no bananas -- except maybe that one that got squashed since it was almost at 7.1 just a mere 24-some-odd hours ago.

I'm with Aguapreta. . .just a bunch more 10's and I'll be back in the running. (ok.. .a HUGE bunch) :)

Steve just pointed out to me yesterday what whomever gets 4th in this one is like to have the 10th-15th highest non-ribbon score on DPC. Such an honor...

Do they go all they way up to 11?

Everybody with inside info keeps saying the top scores are so high, I'm wondering if they go all the way up to 11. Like Nigel Tufnel's guitar amplifiers.

There may not be an icon for whoever finishes 4th(or lower) with a great score in this one but they will be in some pretty select company: Terje(7.849), Heida (7.769), Librodo (7.677 and 7.590), Sonifo (7.655) and Zoomdak (7.592) among other great DPC photographers.

Ah yes, I forgot all about Nigel's amplifiers. The all time classic blank stare as he gathers his breath to explain, once again, to the dense interviewer..."our's go up to 11".

YIKES! ::Quickly puts down binoculars...and rushes to pick up those banana peels so her jockey's Seabiscuit won't slip and fall::

Note to jockey: Please bring this horse home a winner...otherwise YOU get to pay for parking next time....;-)

Despite a very minor stumble in score, more cheering from the peanut gallery!!!
