Just a quick reminder now there are less then 3 days left of the first challenge hope everyone has had a frugal photo week.

It's been tough, it's mid winter here ( well as much as we get winter in Australia of course! ) and very few flowers out. That coupled with the fact it's not my favorite subject, it hasn't been easy. My first pick I doubt would go down well with teh voters, so I've gone for #2 ( and will probably regret it! ). Good luck to me and Paul, the rest can go and suck! :)

"Frugal" means "thrifty", I think you want "fruitful", which means "bountiful" :-)

I think he wants us all to have a frugal photo week so his team can beat the crap out of us.

I meant fruitful this is meant to boost interest in taking photos. Or it might have been a Freudian slip:).

A quick note I will have a daily commentary. So if you want to be mentioned in each commentary simply reply to the live commentary thread coming tomorrow. I will also monitor the Flowers scores thread for anyone participating or you can PM your scores. This is completely optional and there is no pressure on my behalf to post your scores.

I'm thinking Paul and I "may" have just sneaked into the first division with a combined score of 11.983. I also looked at potential "seeding" based on the overall score of a photographer. Based on that I'm guessing the 2nd and 4th seeds are in division 2, and more interestingly the 6th and 7th seeds are in the 3rd division. I won't post any names in case I've got it wrong, but it has "mixed" everyone up which'll make it fun......

Actually that's one div of 10 and two of 9. Or are we going to have two teams of 10 and one of 8?
