Details: Your challenge is to portray your essence without including any part of yourself in the image.

Stats: You have rated 107 of 107 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 6.2710.

I'm really appreciating the breadth and excellence of these entries. I found a higher than usual percentage of technically well executed images with more than usual number connecting emotionally. Many of the images rely on the title to fit the challenge topic. Usually I find that a negative, but in this case I found that easier to accept - mainly becuase it adds another layer of communication and reveals a bit more about the 107 members who had the courage to reveal something personal. I'm sorry I didn't squeeze in time to create an entry, so no conflict of interest in saying thanks to you all for your great images.

It would'a been higher, but I had to go press update before I clicked in. There are some really good ones in this challenge tho. Good job, everyone!

Edited to bring it back up after pressing update again :) Whew!

My pic was fairly lame... If I end up above 3 then I will be happy... If I make just one person laugh I will be happier!!!

A full point higher than I was expecting this morning. And the one comment is a gem.

I was thrilled to have a seven earlier...

I'm still thrilled to be in the 6.4 range after overnight. Downside is that a 6 vote LOWERS my score :)

Not bad. Pretty close to the average score on my ratings. Really enjoyed a lot of these photos. Gave 6 10s!

That's the thing about 7s. I've only had two of them, but it's a real shock to have a 7 lower your score! Just think of what Roz felt like when she had an 8 in a challenge. Can you image an 8 lowering your score?!?
