P.S. Now Jeffrey needs to add the "over seven no ribbon" thingie to his page!

Funny thing is, I coulda' done that one pretty much as well from a single RAW. Not like yours, which is virtuoso use of HDRI in a very difficult situation. Congrats on 4th.

My apologies, Kelli - I'm still internet-less at home and am checking once a day at my office (even though we're closed and all for the weekend and the holiday). So I didn't get your message until it was too late! Hopefully you found Terry on IM!

'Grats to the big guns for the Rivers and Streams scores and placings! Just wish you'd have knocked off Achoo.... :-) I was just glad to have an entry. Didn't do well, didn't do poorly, but it's a nice memory of a time now gone by.

I like the last piece, the memories will always be with you as you have seen and gone, home sweet home and safe.

Anyone know what happens when you're in two member challenges ("Best of" and "Six") and your membership runs out while the challenges are on?

Guess I'm going to find out, but just curious if anyone knows up front.

Thanks,

Bruce

It's funny since I had just asked this exact question in a thread. The answer is that your photos stay in. So when are you going to re-up then???

I'm guessing they'd let the pics stay in as they were entered when you were still a member, right?

Wanted to get in for Best of but couldn't get to a computer, so I'll upload it to my portfolio.... image.php?IMAGE_ID=636387

My "super sucky" abandoned shot is now clinging to 5, and my Best Of shot is fighting for survival between 6 and 6.5.

Brian: we're here for you. Hang in there!

Barb: I missed that you got married. Congrats and have fun on this new adventure! :)

Lea: enjoy the new dog!

Rob (err ... Bruce): please re-up. We need ya!

Everyone: thanks for the congrats! I keep getting sympathy comments about 4th place, which strikes me as a little ... something. I hope I expressed the TS approach to success in this thread I just created. Note especially the paragraph near the end about many types of success deserving of congratulations. :)

Wow, go on vacation, and look at all the stuff going on at TS!

Brian - I hope you feel better soon. It sounds like you are in some serious pain. As Jeffrey says, we're here for you, and please hang in there - it's gotta get better!

Barb - CONGRATS on your marriage! How exciting!!!

Robert and Jeffrey - great finish for both of you in Rivers/Streams. Way to go!

Edit to add:

Posthumous Don, are you leaving story-like comments on the Best of 2007 entries? I just got a very Don-esque comment from a baghead. I liked it.

Julianne, thanks for that! I always look forward to your comments, because they are honest, insightful and usually dead-on. BTW, I've voted on Best Of. Lots of good stuff, hope I gave some high scores to TS'ers!

Edit to add, LOL Don. You've got a copy-cat out there somewhere, then. Spooky.
