Oh I'd so love the opportunity to hate that sometime. :-)

I think you are probably right.. As I mentioned before, a top ten finish would be awesome for me, its been about FOUR YEARS since I last had a top ten image, in a challenge with over 400 entries, top twenty would be an achievement.

Top 10, pretty much a slam dunk. Top 5, in all likelihood! Ribbon? Only time will tell. ;)

ya, I know that. It took me a while to see it the right way and I originally thought it was just a play on the way I stated it. It's more fun to call you a foo though. Conjures up fond memories of the A-team...

Because, even when they are totally different, it's best to not show outtakes in threads until after the challenge is over.

Outtakes aren't only pictures that are a different shot of the image you entered, but also other images that you would have/could have entered.

One reason is that by keeping outtakes for after the challenge, you don't take away comments from the challenge entries. In other words, by showing your outtake now you're asking for extra comments, where people could instead be commenting on the challenge entries. And it isn't quite fair to the challenge entrants to have the outtakes shown before the challenge is over.

Hope that makes sense.

It keeps dipping close to dropping past 5.5 and my aim now is to hit rollover with the score at 5.5.

I'll give you a hint so you can vote it up last minute....it has a blurred background :P

Sigh, call it learning. The out take version was superior in hindsight.
Well done on the 6-7's guys.

Well When I entered this challenge I had a feeling my photo would not do so great. I like it and I think it dos have elements that are bokeh but some commenters did not. The score is turning out about how I expected and from the comments people left some people liked as much as I did. This is my favorite photo I have entered in a challenge so far and my lowest score so far.

Personally I think you made the right choice as your outtake isn't really bokeh, it's just an OOF background. :P

BTW - I just love the variance in SC enforcing forum rule #2 which states that challenge outtakes aren't to be posted until after the challenge has finished voting.
