Cool, and may the best species win! (fish are the best...)

You are in Cali you lucky devil? I have always wanted to go there.

Rooster eat bass...

Yep, I'm in Petaluma! Cows & sheep... not much of those in NYC. I'm here for work so not too much play. Did get to shoot a few pix today tho!

Well I just entered ~~the winning~~ a photo for abandoned buildings. My prediction before any voting is that it will likely just do a mediocre 5.5. I don't care though...I actually like this shot. (that is how I know it will suck in scoring)

Did you enter abandoned or yellow Roosty?

I had just a few hours to shoot anything since I had just returned from the worst trip back from SF!

I entered abandoned buildings and whether you win a ribbon or not, it WILL be a winning foto for this head to head! Boohoo for me!

I'm pulling a 4.4 right now on scores! CURSES! Looks like you'll win the first!

I am not so sure on that Rooster... I waited until I had one day to shoot. My abandoned buildings is presently 4.77! It could be a battle yet. This is sitting as my second worst score ever. LOL

Thank goodness there are still a few more open challenges before the end of the month. :)

Shit! It will be a sad day for me when I get beaten by a score of 4.7. Guess that days is soon approaching it seems!

Apparently it is a race to the brown for this first week!

I'm prepared for my first defeat! And the way the voting has been going for me, the first of many defeats! CURSES!

I'm in for no children as well!

Good luck!

Good luck to you as well.

Woohoo! I squeaked by this first competition so far in Jan.

Rooster 4.5732

basssman7 5.1195

Not a resounding win, but it will not mean anything in the long run, as I sure as hell hope we will both blow 5.11 out of the water in the next two weekly open challenges for Jan starting with No Children!

Thank you. Lots of room for improvement for both of us, that is for sure.

I really like my No Children shot, but my first vote was a 5, and the second was a 4! Not looking good....

OMG! so much for improvement. my shot is bombing terribly! I am fighting to stay at 5. Ick. How is yours doing?

Well you are kicking my ass. I am down to 4.91. LOL It is so pathetic it is funny.

01/23/2008 08:12:41 PM · #68

pathetic and funny indeed! We seem to be exchanging embarrassing wins!

01/23/2008 08:14:20 PM · #69

I'm with that!

Congrats Roosty! I managed to get back into the 5's but it was not enough. :) You are now the overall leader for the month as well. (I am shaking in my proverbial booties)

I am happy to report that my architecture score is sitting at 5.74 presently. What do you have going this week?

I got nothing man! It rained here last night while I was out shooting. The results were so dissatisfying that I chose not to submit.

Congrats on the high score so far... you'll need it! :P

Still got one more challenge to even things us before the end of the first month! Good luck with your entry.

01/30/2008 03:06:53 PM · #73

well...down to 5.5 and still dropping. :(

But "eye" will triumph in the end!
