You've been here HOW long?

I know, I know...but sometimes even us old farts see something that's a little on the extreme side. :-)

Clever titles to fit a challenge aren't new for sure...just seemed like more than usual this time around.

Funny that you mention that. I was mentally challenging myself to find a clever title for a bug and or flower, that would make it fit into any challenge. I haven't been stumped yet! :-)

To make this more topic related and thus avoid the wrath of the op... I feel that my entry clearly states success for the subjects involved, without question. It was why I picked it out of several very similar shots that I took that day, even though I felt it gave me less to work with for my edit, and wasn't going to be technically as good as the other options.

It was a risk, and I was hoping people would "get it." So far it's my personal best by a full point! :-)

Congrats! It's a great image, and the title fits quite well. Certainly worthy of a 7+ score. :-)

You certainly were! How did you do that? Magic 8 ball, hidden camera in my office, just super duper smart?

Either way, thank you for the kind words. They are very much appreciated.

Its been a long time since my last entry and I was hoping for a little more from this pic. But I'm guessing there should be +/- 150 more votes to come. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Anyone accepting bribes????? Just kidding.. GOOD LUCK to all.
I'm off to make some comments now.

Hey

slickwilly!
I took a gander at your profile and it appears that this is your second challenge, right? Anything in the 5ish range seems to be a pretty respectable score around these parts. There's a select few who always score high, but not very many! So turn that frown upside down! :-) Don't believe me? Pick your favorite shot and chek that photographers challenge results. lol

Be careful with those pms. You do not want to be seen as trying to infulence someone to change their vote. The best thing to do is wait till voting is over, then send them a polite pm if you still want to.

people can change their vote once they have voted? i did not know that lol.
i felt an explanation was necessary cause they were confused as to how it was "success"

thanks!
