WELL, I was all set with what I thought was a real shocker. BUT, I passed it by a SC member who didn't think it would fly with my editing. So, I did another from the series of same shots. This one should be no problem, and I like it a lot, just not as much as the other. :/

My prediction is a starting vote of a 7.0, and then a drop to a 5.8, then back to a 6.2.

:)

35 min from the start, I entered my attempt at a self portrait. I hope everyones monitor survives. Good luck in the challange everyone.

I'm actually getting a bit of a sick feeling in my stomach over this challenge. I'm really thin skinned, and I may be sitting in the corner, rocking back and forth, sucking my thumb tomorrow, when my scores come in at there usual 4-5 range. On the other hand, I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone else came up with for creative ideas.

I used 720 pixels but only 150 kb (I think). That's enough for a nude ;>)
I hope people appreciate my title.

I think I might have to turn off scores- I'm too weak for this!!! :0P

Ya! Doc is so bad as recognizing people. When we were in Seattle, I saw Ken walking by and I alled out his name, "Hey Ken"! Doc leaned over and said, "Who's Glenn"?

I was tempted to call mine "The Sneezing New Zealand Doctor Whose Name Is Jones" but figured no one would get it...

Yeah I saw that! Gosh I am tired of thinking. I am gonna stop. :-)

Looking at the first 3 self-portrait challenges..... looks like creative titles win over usernames.
05/18/2006 05:58:23 PM · #15
Yeah then give me a 1 for stealing his identity!

LMAO :-P
05/18/2006 05:57:14 PM · #16

For the same reason, everyone knows what I look like, I'm going sans-name... but don't know if that will be consensus.

I think it's more entertaining when people are gonna guess ;-)

i bet less than 20% of the voters would recognize people ;)


You're probably right, but that 20% of us who do kinda know who is who will have a blast pointing people out! :)
