i self-dq'd. Yep, my shot was doing THAT badly, and mostly my fault as I oversharpened it.

I actually made it to 6.0000 before dropping. Based on several of the comments, I achieved was I was trying for.

Lots of comments too! Thanks.

Mark, if you've seen the same bump I've seen over the last 60 votes, you must be very happy! If I recall, your last post was around 6.5. Maybe a 7+ score here!! Awesome!

Now that you mention it, that last 60 have been rather kind. :) I think I hit yours early with a comment??

p.s. for Deb-- I've been searching all over the entries for a blue pigeon... :P I'll find yours before its over.

yes, indeed, you did. Ironically, you were my second comment, right behind JD!

And, Deb, I think I found a few that have your look. We'll see how I did after voting's over!

Haha-- only in the world of DPC. Good luck--your entry is strong.

Oh, and my score in Blue isn't the one that's on the good side of 5.7. This one is a 5.5, which is darn near a 6, if you consider the new 6 is 5.7. Follow? :-)

I'm not following the scoring thing exactly but I'll take your word for it. I guess it's like 40 is the new 30??

Good luck! I'll be interested to see if you can spot it.

I also had a very nice climb. It's a very nice change from the recent history of steady drops. My first non-FS entry in about 4 months. It's fun to be back!

You must have a good one going, Steve. :-)

My score is freakin' awesome at this point. Biggest climb I've ever seen since I've been here. AND I have a ton of comments. And for me, 5.7 is the new 6 so I'm over 6! Yay!

Ooops. Wrong challenge score. This one is still under 6 even with the new personal scoring method. Sorry 'bout that. Still happy with the score though, and it has a couple of interesting comments, one I need to go check (I may have forgotten a step in the nth attempt at processing the darn thing.)

sitting at 5.10

I feel sorry for the person who may have entered in the wrong one . I can't wait to read their comments.

Just a reminder - it's against the rules to discuss photos during the voting phase.

5.77 and leveling off.

Oops - I really thought long and hard on whether to list it but figured it was for public view and thought it was okay. So sorry my mistake - guess, if you have to think twice about it you probably should just error on the safe side huh. My bad - I'll listen to my inner voice next time.
