Hey

Nuzzer, looks like my entry this week is not going to put up much of a fight against yours. Please let me know where your score is at because I need to decide whether to attempt a near-futile search for birds in the middle of winter while the temperature is well below freezing. (I would much rather stay home and drink beer in front of the fireplace.) Thanks much.

It's early days yet but at this stage you should put a few cold ones in the fridge...

Gwazoo-- I scrambled something very cliche in for '6'. Hope you didn't give me a free pass this week!

Sorry brotha I tried but just could not get it together. As much as it pains me I did in fact give you a free pass... :-(

the sneezy only counts in my book if you beat him when he's got a contending image. I'm going for all the Ribbon Hogs in that regard, haven't beat Doc yet, but I've beat

scalvert and

De Sousa with a blue in Group Portrait and tied

librodo with a red in Natural Light Portrait. Still waiting for a chance with

Larus and

DrAchoo, but as I said, both images have to be top 5 or so.

My Six entry is doing OK, hoping for better though.

So what are the official rules for a Sneezy?

I guess it's just scoring hihger in a given challenge, but what fun is that when he gets the occasional low 6? I want to beat him at his best!

Well in that case I've earned a Sneezy along the way too! If the rule was that both images had top be in the top 10% of the challenge then I'd also get one (just) but if it were both images had to make to 10 then I'd be out of luck.

I can never quite seem to beat that bastard either. No matter how hard I try, he seems to have the uncanny ability to match my score vote for vote!

That sounds suspicious! I'd let SC know about it and maybe they will ban him for a while ;)

It seems most Six entries are just doing okay (based on the scores thread).
I'm in the same boat - definitely waiting for the upward surge... :O)

True but the LoD is a bit different. After all it's not Roba's fault that Jason failed miserably. Jason knew he was being contested this week so it's not like he was caught off guard.

Thanks for the information. I'll hoist a cold one in honor of you,

Ivory and

trevytrev. On second thoughts, maybe I'll hoist a separate one for each of you, as you all have been highly worthy opponents. That will help ease the pain of my lousy score.

I know I have been lucky so far. Round one and signal2noise was DQed, even though my shot scored a 6.7, I had no opposition and round Two I nudged out jdannels by 5.7426 to 5.7415

wow that was close! I have no interweb in my new place yet so it took me til now to see what was the final verdict. Congrats. I seem to be slumping at the moment, my 6 shot is barely over 5, and only one 6 score this year, including my Best of. No worries, good luck against Jen!

What if in a wierd twist of fate I recieved a DQ this week? Does our overlord then insert himself back into the competition? I've been asked for validation and though I've always passed muster it does makes me a touch nervous.

My shot is impressively average and I pulled it together after my flu-ridden children went to bed for the night.
