Tee hee. . .that's funny!!
I think I'll have to take a break from doing another tournament just right away after this one tho. I love shooting what inspires me, and I have to admit to a few stressful moments not having anything that I really thought worthy of submitting, but having to anyway.
But I'm glad I saw it all the way through.
Just 5 more days to go :)

That's what caused my downfall in the predictions too.. yet I still managed a 5th place showing on the prediction leaderboard :)
Err.. until the latest update, where I dropped to 8th :)

Now. . .how in the world were you a 4th seed??? How in the world was I a 2nd seed???? |

Score ??? ummmmmm. .. .it's okay. I love my photo and think it's one of my best, so naturally, I don't think it's scoring as good as it should be scoring. . .but it is doing okay. But like I say. . .I'm staying grounded because I'm a realist too :)

I think Terry bracketed us into four groups and we were seeded according to that group ;) Yeah, I think my image is great as well (as with most people). However, I did learn to just go with the flow as what inspires me might not inspire others ;) 4 more days and we're done ;) Kinda sad but it's a relief in some way. Then again I'm in the WPL so I still need to keep the photos coming and the shutter clicking for a while ;)
Cheers,
Rikki |

I think I will be more relieved than sad :) It's just that my philosophy about photography is that for it to touch people and be good, it has to have something of the photographer's passion and expression in it. If I have to enter a challenge that does nothing for me. . .then, it's going to be flat and boring (for me anyway). I did find that in a couple of my MS entries, and It was very hard for me to enter photos I wasnt all that happy with. . .on subjects that didn't inspire me in the least. Sooooooo, I'm going back to my hard and fast motto: shoot what you love and love what you shoot :) No more forced entries for me :)

I'm not sure how I'm 2nd on the prediction leaderboard when I only got one right in my Final Four prediction. Everyone else must have really sucked. :P

Awwww. . .Thank you Tinky! We are indeed almost at the finish line :)
And I'm happy too to have played such a fun game for such a good cause. My brother-in-law's sister was this gorgeous, cheerleader, model type and was diagnosed with MS in her late 20's. She married a man with MS and they have a son. But for the past many years, they've both been confined entirely to a wheelchair. It's a devastating disease, and I'm glad to have any small part in raising funds and awareness for MS!

Congrats to Rikki for tking the title, and well done to Sandy for a very high score to completely justify your second place.
And a big thanks to Terry for setting the whole thing up in the first place. |
