I hate to admit it, but yes, my B&W is also in AND I have done my blue/yellow already, just confirming some editing query with the powers that are.

I am photographing my blue and yellow today or tomorrow! Wait for it . . . And my Legs one on Tuesday - hopefully LOL

We are on fire!! Now if I could just get excited about my black and white

MY version of B/W has been in since the day the challenge was announced... I'm usually either very early or very late. You know how some people say "That's just how I roll!"? me, I say "That's just how I wobble!"

I know!! I feel on fire!! Do I love what I entered, no, but that it is what it is LOL. I about freaked out - I went to look for colorful photos and the file I was looking for was missing - about had a heart attack. Thank goodness I back up my backup LOL. Seriously - heart is still pounding!

Wendy - I wish I could convey the amount of sick feeling when I thought a whole folder was missing! I have an idea to photograph something new but wanted to see if my backup conveyed �colorful� first and foremost.

Yup - I fear my streak is coming to a streaking halt. I had that one in early, but symmetry is kicking my booty.

I actually shot for it yesterday -- but knowing me, I'll wait until tomorrow night to even start looking for it. :O

It might sound more impressive to say you still had 119 seconds to spare ... ;-)

I think I need to apply the same conversion to my waist line from inches to feet . . .

Except you want to go the other direction ... while your at it you may as well gain an additional effect by going metric and use meters instead of feet ... ;-)

I don�t know . . . Saying yea, I�m just a tad over 2 sure sounds good on the surface, no need to apply the �how/what� LOL

I see my problem -- I started working on symmetry this morning, about 4 hours ago.

Ummm.... well...

I just got the photos downloaded.

Somehow facebook japanese knitting page got in the way.

Some email got in the way.

I'd like to blame my kid being home getting in the way, but he's only taken up about 10 minutes of time.

I just pulled up the first photo, but since I've been on the computer for 4 hours, I should probably take a break to save my neck and shoulders :P

So, I went and photographed symmetry about 4:30pm and then stopped and did a legs idea, got home, and thankfully liked my symmetry one so I am in as of 30 min ago. 150 minutes to spare!

I don't know, I got the entry in with multiple hours to spare, and it's at 5.7 with 10 votes. I think I'll go back to really last minute! :)

Isn�t that so true?! I like to believe it is the brain of an artist - without the ability to randomly switch gears so readily we might miss seeing the extraordinary / beautiful in an otherwise focused, driven day.

Well that gives me a semblance of hope that I�m not the only one� not going to lie, the lower numbers of voters is a bummer, sure makes a low vote greatly impact a score.

Let's be fair, here :-) We all rail at how a low vote has a disproportionate effect on the score, but I never see anyone saying the opposite, that outlier HIGH votes also skew the finishing position... Just sayin'...

Nah, I think the outlier high votes are true art connoisseur�s who have had their eye finely honed by art professor�s the world wide.
